Shwmae (hello) and Croeso (welcome)! My name is Kat, and I do maths. I am an applied mathematician and digital maths communicator, which means I love working on problems that are motivated by the real world and then talking about them with others. My main research interests are in fluid dynamics, but I have a broad background in statistical applied mathematics, and my current role at the University of Warwick sees me consulting on a range of mathematical and computing science projects. 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 improving 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)
• Maths Communicator
• Livestreamer, Podcast Host, and Short form Content Creator
• Fellow of Warwick Institute of Engagement
• Outreach and academic communication trainer
• Facilitator and Presenter
• Co-Creator and Lead on PhD Your Way, which is supported by the Research Your Way Scale-up thanks to the EDIHub+ Flexible Fund
• Engagement leader for the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) Early Career Committee
