Fight the Bad Fires
I work as a Fire Scientist. I work on computational modelling of community-level wildfires, smoke, evacuation and decision support tools.
Communication is the hardest part of being a scientist. Watch my attempt to do so:
Leverhulme Center ECR Conference
The first time I presented my PhD work was in a small scale conference hosted by the Leverhulme Center. I was lucky enough to talk with people that would be in the audience, and I realized the scope of our work is wildly different. So far in my lab I talked with people with engineering background, who had an idea about what I was working on. I realized that most people, even in the same field, do not work on the same scale or problem that I do. As such, I made a presentation that boils down the problem that I try to tackle to a simple story. You should not need any expertise or experience with fire management to watch along. Do leave any comments you want, I always want to improve.
SFPE London Student Chapter FLASHPOINTS 2022 competition
The SFPE London Student Chapter which I am a member of and which is primarily ran by HAZELAB runs a competition every year, where researchers need to present their research, or a topic relevant to their research, in a short 3 minute video. Looking back I do not like how the video turned out, I did not have much time to film, I do not show any emotion (same in real life but exaggerated on video), and the footage is a shaky mess (I will be forever grateful to Ande for holding the camera and making a makeshift tripod, I refused to reshoot another day as I thought I could fix the footage while editing. I could not.)
