If you like too much detail on maths facts, or always wondered what I look like off camera, come along to this event at the end of the month! I'm so excited to contribute to AEOUD and be alongside some truly incredible other acts!

⭐ Kat Phillips ⭐ The wonderful @katdoesmaths.bsky.social is joining us at An Evening of Unnecessary Detail on 26th January! Kat is an Innovation Research Associate, a Maths Communicator, & wearer of many hats (literally)! Make sure to nab tickets to see her Spoken Nerd debut! fotsn.com/tickets

✨💧 New Publication Alert 💧✨ My paper alongside Radu Cimpeanu and Paul Milewski is finally available on Proceedings of the Royal Society A !! The paper titled "Modelling two-dimensional droplet rebound off deep fluid baths" captures the dynamics of a droplet rebound on a deep liquid bath🧵1/4

Furthermore, the speed of this new model permitted exploration into repeated bounces wihtout further loss of resolution - supporting long scale investigation into Faraday pilot wave dynamics, coming full circle from my initial thesis formulation report 5 years ago! 3/4

✨💧 New Publication Alert 💧✨ My paper alongside Radu Cimpeanu and Paul Milewski is finally available on Proceedings of the Royal Society A !! The paper titled "Modelling two-dimensional droplet rebound off deep fluid baths" captures the dynamics of a droplet rebound on a deep liquid bath🧵1/4

We introduce new analytical and computational modelling approaches for capturing the dynamics of a liquid drop and pool impact which include a fully coupled reduced dynamic model for the entraped gas region between droplet and bath, and compare to dedicated direct numerical simulation. 2/4

Ten years ago I was a confused kid in the middle of her A levels who’d just lost her father to cancer, and didn’t know what she was going to do with her life. Now I couldn’t be more proud of who I’ve become. I’m a mathematician, science communicator, and still an avid rugby fan.

Oh yeah, photo context - the team at the stadium let me keep one of the rebranding panels, and it’s still up at Mams house! (I never got a programme from matchday though, so if anyone has one knocking about I would be forever grateful!) However if you want to see a vintage version from 2015... 🧵5/5

Ten years ago today, the ospreys celebrated their ten year anniversary by renaming the then liberty stadium the “Katie Phillips Stadium”. I still find it completely surreal that for a single match all the commentators were saying MY name, and all the branding everywhere in the stadium got replaced.

It was pure chance - they randomly chose one fan who’d been supporting since the beginning to win the honour, so my name went everywhere (including the wiki page, much to someone's attempt to keep kicking me off there!!)

Hallo! I'm not very good at using this platform, but I am quite good at sometimes remembering to tell people where they can find me. I'll be live over on twitch doing some co-working study streams this week, and I'll be doing some maths and fundraising May 21st (more to follow). Come say hi!

I am so excited for this evening! Come along and share the joy 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

🏳️‍🌈 The Red Dragon's Blessing 🏳️‍🌈 Our final @prideinstem.bsky.social one-shot is tonight! An all-Welsh cast led by @livkennedy.bsky.social, with players @katdoesmaths.bsky.social, Eleanor of @deckofmanyaces.bsky.social and @hangingsloth.bsky.social 🕖 7pm GMT 🔗 twitch.tv/scienceandsorcery

The book I'm reading got to a sad moment, so I decided to catch up on my Buffy rewatch. Only I forgot that my next episode is The Body... Looks like we're having a crying night no matter what

I've had an amazingly full circle moment today where I was invited to speak at the applied mathematics seminar in Cardiff University. I completed my undergraduate in Cardiff in 2019, so to go back just after completing my PhD and share my success with the people who inspired me was a lovely feeling.
