It was an honour to welcome HRH The Princess Royal for the official opening of the Quad building - our state-of-the-art teaching & research hub for Engineering. She met with academics, researchers & students, who showcased their groundbreaking work, & our vibrant STEM societies

Today we unveiled our latest quantum chip, Willow. But how does quantum computing work? What even is a qubit? Our @GoogleQuantumAI team is here to teach you the basics — and give you a tour of their lab ↓ goo.gle/3ZJq7QN

A large presence at #ESFSS2024 in Barcelona from @kcl_engineering with Imogen, Alankrita, Elena and myself. Great poster presentations by both Immy and Ally, and great conversations and potential future collaborations with lots of participants. Fantastic conference!

As a scientist, I've learnt a lot about facade fires since 2015 with Matt, Ben and Francesca of Hazelab (even more learning after 2017 for tragic reasons). After years of research, time has arrived for facade safety to be part my exam of fire dynamics. I wrote this ACM question:

We attended this converted e-bike fire in #ShepherdsBush. Thankfully no one was hurt.
E-bikes are London's fastest-growing fire risk and these fires can be ferocious - it's vital to stay well away and call 999 📞🚲🔥

How to talk about battery safety without talking about fire?
My sketch has humorous take but it is based on 11 years of working at the interface between battery technology and fire science.

A thread of 20 ancient sites and wonders brought to life by virtual reconstructions 🧵

I wonder what it will take for these Indonesian fires to get mass media attention? Thousands of fires, smoke plumes the size of France, tens of millions exposed to hazardous smoke, & the loss of crucial carbon stores. The Tenerife fires have had more coverage!

After years of waiting and near millions of people asking for its release, I am proud to say my first ever paper in fire science has been released!

Now come with me on an adventure, and let’s talk about wildfires, evacuations and math.

Recap: we run 80 fire tornadoes 🌪 demonstrations, we burnt two candles, we talked to approx 400 people, half of which very curious kids 🤩 and on one thing we all agreed - fire is cool 🔥

Thank you Dr Matt Bonner from @FireTrigon for the visit yesterday and the torrent of great advice to everyone in Hazelab. We discussed fire engineering, casual inference, graph theory, machine learning and top interview tips! You are a great Visiting Scholar 🙏🏻

There are four PhD studentships available at @kcl_engineering for UK/International applicants. If interested in Fire (battery fires and wildfires) and Heat Transfer, please contact @FranRestuccia with your CV and a paragraph about what you would like to work on.

I'd like to share some exciting news. I just won the International Fire Safety Woman of the Year Award in the UK, from Women in Fire Safety. Here are my remarks which @FrancescaLugar1 read when she accepted the award on my behalf in London (thanks to @GuillermoRein for arranging)

Francesca just published her first PhD paper and I am a very happy supervisor. It is a review paper. And the figures are stellar (her sketches by hand and Ashby diagrams)!
