Clara Gonsalves

I recently graduated with an MSci Physics with Hons from the University of Nottingham, and I am excited to join the Outreach Team as a Physics Engagement Officer. In my role, I will primarily deliver the Beecroft Inspire programme. This is a series of hands‑on physics events that bridge the leading research at Oxford with students of ages 11–15, through interactive roadshows and targeted one‑day events. I am deeply passionate about engaging under‑represented groups in physics, using interactive activities that spark curiosity, make physics accessible, and highlight diverse STEM pathways. Through this outreach, I aim to contribute to a more inclusive physics community in Oxfordshire and beyond.

My second role is as COMPOS assistant coordinator, where I support the 'Comprehensive Oxford Maths and Physics Online School'. I manage the School's Pilot Programme, work on outreach and social media, as well as curriculum development.
