Selfie of me and a Chinese girl who is wearing full academic regalia and holding a bunch of flowers.


Amidst all the marking and end of term teaching my very first PhD student graduated (or at least the first for whom I was primary supervisor). I didn't actually manage to get to her graduation (because teaching) and missed her at the after graduation party (I had to leave for more teaching before she arrived) but she swung by my office at the very end of the day.

She's currently in limbo, having got a job in Germany in early summer, but is still waiting for a visa to arrive. It's getting increasingly hard in the UK to employ Chinese researchers in topics related to autonomous systems or robotics so I have my fingers crossed that this will work out.
