This year, I didn’t want to write a polished “celebratory” post. I wanted to write something honest, probably a bit uncomfortable, maybe even too opinionated, but for those who know me well, that won’t be a surprise. 😉

Our latest publication has been featured in the NAT news website at @tum.de

We couldn't be happier with the nice opportunity and appreciation of our work.

Can't wait to see what this project brings to the table next!

Up at 3am. Flight at 5:30am, but… first weekend away on my own in forever. Heading to Copenhagen to see my bestie 🤩

All worth it 🤣🥳

Congratulations!!! 🥳🤩

Newton International Fellowships | Royal Society This fellowship is for non-UK scientists who are at an early stage of their research career and wish to conduct research in the UK.

📢 Postdoc fellowship – computational catalysis. Looking to support an outstanding early-career researcher interested in #CompChem catalyst design, mechanistic insight and QM + ML + experiment.

⏳ UoM internal deadline: late Feb

Back home after a lovely 2-week break! 🐝
​It was great, but we missed this little one, Dobby. I think he’s officially protesting my return to the office on Monday! 🐾
#BackToWork #HomeSweetHome

What a year. 2025 has been really tough, but also full of progress: new PhD, 6 papers, a Leverhulme grant, invited talks, new collabs (and even a break‑in at the office…). Very grateful for my team and collaborators. Time to rest and reset for 2026! 🥳

Rainy Manchester day, BEST surprise ☔️
The Dublin division showed up unexpectedly for our last seminar of the year ❤️
After everything this year has thrown at us, this really meant a lot.
#ResearchGroup #PhDLife #AcademicLife #Manchester #Dublin #EndOfYear #ChristmasBreak

✅ Last week, the Scientific Advisory Board visited #IQF for two days of deep discussions, reviewing research, infrastructures & strategy to boost excellence and global impact.

Grateful to all who made it possible!

Nope, no bottom - just creamy, crustless :D

Sure, here the one I follow: Mix in order: 570 g cream cheese → 4 eggs (one at a time) → 230 g sugar → 10 g flour → 285 ml cream. Bake 200 °C for ~40 min until golden on top, soft in the centre. Let cool at least 2 h 👌

Two Basque cheesecakes this weekend 🫠🍰 One for home, one for a birthday in the group, and to inaugurate the group seminar season tomorrow 🎉

Perfect way to end the week: 'We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript has been accepted for publication' 🎉 Have a lovely weekend, all! #compchem #AcademicLife

Just found out a manuscript I rejected twice got published… without so much as a heads-up. Not the first time this has happened. Peer review is voluntary and unpaid; the least journals could do is be transparent. Feels like some “big names” get a free pass. So frustrating. #PeerReview #AcademicLife
