Hi and Shwmae, Welcome and Croeso. My name is Kat, and I do maths. Specifically, I have a PhD in Statistical Applied Mathematics, but I consider myself a fluid dynamicist at heart as that is where my main research interests lie. I enjoy sharing my passion for maths with others, and encouraging people to get past the stigma that often comes with telling people you like maths. I also have a strong passion for demystifying academia, and easing access to higher education, through sharing educational content, and providing information around higher education admissions. I describe myself as a wearer of many hats, as having to put a name to the numerous roles I have has become too complicated (and if kat does maths didn’t give it away, I like easy explanations). Some of the hats I wear currently are:

• Innovation Research Associate (InRA) at the Centre for Applications of Mathematical & Computing Sciences (CAMaCS)
• Twitch Livestreamer
• Maths Communicator, and speaker for Education in Action
• Outreach and academic communication trainer
• Co-Creator and Lead on PhD Your Way
• Engagement officer for the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) Early Career Committee

Recently…

I spent November giving 7 different events (Lectures, Talks, PyW Days…) and it was so incredibly rewarding! Autumn really is the busy season for maths communication it seems, and now the hard work is all done we’re gearing up for whatever 2025 brings - last updated on 28/11/2024
