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 leader for the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) Early Career Committee
