We had a great time in Lausanne for the 7th Psi-k conference, held at the SwissTech Convention Centre, EPFL across 25 to 28 August 2025, with a week full of interesting talks, insightful discussions, and wonderful science! Thank you to the Psi-k organising committee for the excellent event, we very much enjoyed keeping up-to-date with […]
To celebrate Lars’s successful PhD viva, the FAST group headed out to the punts to drift lazily down the River Cam (after all, what better way is there to study water, than to simply float on it?). Much fun was had, with a few of us taking turns to push the really big stick around […]
We decided to take advantage of the great weather, and held a (veggie-friendly) BBQ party at Wolfson College! Some good fun was also had afterwards throwing/kicking a ball around. Congrats to Darren, Joe, and Steffen for recently completing their halfway reports & presentations for the MPhil!
Apparently the parkruns weren’t enough: Christoph, Darren, Isaac, Niamh, and Xavi decided to test their allegiance to the FAST name, and prove themselves at the Cambridge Half-Marathon! We were also joined by Sam Coles from the ICE group. Ultimately, Isaac proved to be the FASTest of us all, clocking in at 01:24:49. Congrats to all […]
To celebrate the upcoming Christmas, we decided to take our theories of solid water and put them into practice – by demonstrating how to skate on it! We were joined also by Hugo Rauch from the ICE group, to make it all the more fitting. Some of us skated around and around in circles at […]
The group is growing FAST: We have five new members this term. Very warm welcome to Ioachim Dusa, Isaac Parker, and Darren Lim who are starting their PhD’s. We are also honoured to have Yixuan Feng & Hubert Beck visiting our group for some time. Continuing our FAST tradition, we’ve convinced some of the new […]
To welcome Eduard who’s a visitor for three months, we got together to rescue the world by stopping an asteroid headed to earth in the Armageddon escape room at Lockhouse. Before that we had a nice group dinner.Welcome Eduard!
As part of our parent ICE-group we had a great time in Venice full of insightful discussions, excellent science and exciting future potential collaborations! This trip has been the initial meeting of the n-AQUA project, jointly awarded to Angelos Michaelides, Mischa Bonn, and Lyderic Bocquet, which we have the honor to contribute to.
…with this nice video from the Royal Institution. Great to feature as scientific consultant on this topic close to our scientific passion.
Very honored to receive the first TYC Early Career Award for our work on understanding complex aqueous systems with machine learning.
