I really enjoy public outreach and engagement activities, and have participated in various events at Oxford, and helped design and man an exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Exhibition in 2010.
I have been a STEM ambassador and am active in the department's Equality & Diversity Committee and the Women in Physics Society.
I'm happy to visit schools, societies and groups for talks. Possible topics include: The European Extremely Large Telescope (including the development of large telescopes); Gravitational Lensing & Space Warps; Early galaxies in the young Universe; Obscured Galaxies - the dark side of star formation in the Universe. Please contact me should you wish to arrange a talk or visit.
I have also been interviewed and featured in several media articles and have written a guide to the E-ELT for the media
