The atmosphere in college is very friendly,
it's almost like a family.

Biography
I support the college with supervisions, admissions and student support in undergraduate mathematics. I studied at Emmanuel for my BA, MMath, and PhD in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. My research uses idealised models to understand the interaction between convection and large-scale atmospheric dynamics, particularly as a pathway for coupling between the troposphere (where our weather occurs) and the stratosphere (which is predictable on longer timescales).

Tobias Wauer – a report from the COVID-19 testing front line
It’s 8pm and I’m about to start a 12-hour shift at the national COVID-19 testing centre in Milton Keynes. Truckloads of boxes with transparent plastic bags just arrived and a brief announcement is made: 15,000 patient swabs. For now, the mood among the team is cheerful and enthusiastic, but I know it will have morphed into exhaustion and fatigue by the end of the night.
