SUMMARY:The Great International Bake Off (TCPDS Edition) - Afternoon Tea.
DESCRIPTION:Rules: Participants in the Bake Off competition are preparing bakes at home and bring them to the afternoon tea. All bakers as well as everyone else who is attending the afternoon tea will be judging the bakes anonymously. Whoever gets the most votes will receive a price (the TCPDS uniquely engraved rolling pin). Sign-up remains open until the event day and even spontaneous drop-ins are encouraged; the sheet just gives us an estimation on how many people will attend and allow some balancing in between different bakes. \nThe theme is to represent a country with your bake (e.g. a traditional national bake from your home country or from your favourite vacation country). \nSign-up: Event Sign-Up Trinity College Postdoctoral Society – Google Sheets \nDate: Saturday March 12 2025 \nTime: 16:00 onwards \nLocation: Deighton Room \nFood/drinks: Selection of teas\, coffees and bake off cakes to be judged. Please email the Society Secretary with any dietary restrictions. \nDetails: Society members’ families or one guest are most welcome. We have timed this to coincide (roughly) after the weekly Society tennis: for those playing tennis with the Society\, come by the Deighton Room for cake tasting after tennis! \nOrganised by Alissa Drees.

SUMMARY:Academic Event (in person): "Conversation with Prof. Amit Agrawal"
DESCRIPTION:“In Conversation with Trinity Fellow & PhaseShift Co-founder – Prof. Amit Agrawal: Optics\, Academic Life and Entrepreneurial Ventures” \nAmit Agrawal is an Associate Professor of Optical Engineering at the University of Cambridge\, and a Fellow and Director of Studies at Trinity College. \nHe received an M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Utah\, followed by a postdoc at NIST\, where he worked in the areas of nanophotonics and terahertz optoelectronics. He then joined Syracuse University as an Assistant Professor\, followed by Staff Scientist/Physicist roles at NIST and the US Army Research Laboratory. \nAt Cambridge\, his group works in the areas of ultrafast optics\, nonlinear optics\, nanofabrication and integrated photonics. His research work in the last few years has primarily focused on developing integrated nanophotonic technologies to scale and miniaturize quantum systems based on trapped atoms and ions for applications in quantum sensing and computing. Over the years\, Amit has collaborated closely with industrial\, academic and govt. partners\, his research has been cited >7600 times (h-index of 46) with papers in reputed journals including Nature and Science\, is granted >10 patents\, and received competitive awards from Optica\, SPIE and IEEE. \nHe is also the co-founder\, PhaseShift Technologies\, that aims to provide scalable\, foundry manufacturable photonic solutions to the quantum\, sensing and display industry. ” \nDate: 9th June \nVenue: Deighton Room \nDuration: 19:00-20:00 hours; following college bar visit for networking \nProvisions: Pizza and drinks \nOrganised and hosted by Mousumi Shyam

SUMMARY:Academic event: “Celebrating Women in STEM”
DESCRIPTION:Honouring women’s transformative impact across STEM disciplines requires our full acknowledgment\, as their innovation and resilience reshape scientific boundaries—actively recognizing their achievements remains fundamental to establishing truly representative and inclusive scientific environments. \nProvisions: Mimosa\, Juice\, Vegetable Mediterranean Quiche and Red Velvet Cake. \nEvent Schedule- \nGuest Presentations \n\nDr Liz Zijing Li: 20 minutes\nDr Nerea Irigoyen: 20 minutes\n\nNetworking Break: 20 minutes \n\nDr Tara Love: 20 minutes\nDr Bridget Gildea: 20 minutes\n\nNetworking Break: 20 minutes \nClosing Remarks \n\nThank you address by Mousumi Shyam\n\nInvitees: \n1. Meet up with Dr Liz Zijing Li\, Founder of Mimicrete  \nDr. Liz Zijing Li is the founder of Mimicrete\, an award-winning clean technology company pioneering vascular self-healing concrete to enable resilient\, low-carbon infrastructure. A UKRI Women in Innovation Award winner and Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)\, Liz leads with a rare combination of scientific depth and industry-recognised leadership. Under her guidance\, Mimicrete was named CleanTech Company of the Year and has secured over $2.5 million in commercial trial value\, working with global Tier-1 industrial partners across the UK\, EU\, Asia and the Middle East. She has driven the company’s international collaborations and commercial scale-up\, positioning Mimicrete at the forefront of decarbonising global infrastructure. Liz is passionate about climate resilience and gender equity in STEM\, using her platform to advance innovation through inclusive leadership. \n2. From Emerging Viruses to Research Independence: the Ups and Downs of Becoming a Principal Investigator at Cambridge University – Dr Nerea Irigoyen \nDr Nerea Irigoyen is a Research Group Leader in the Division of Virology (Department of Pathology) at the University of Cambridge. Nerea undertook a PhD in molecular virology at the Spanish National Biotechnology Centre in Madrid (Spain)\, where she studied the assembly and maturation of the capsid of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). In October 2010\, she moved to the Department of Pathology in Cambridge to study non-canonical translational mechanisms in coronaviruses and retroviruses under the supervision of Prof Ian Brierley as a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow (Wellcome Trust). During that period\, she also applied a technique called ‘ribosome profiling’\, a global snapshot of translation\, to RNA viruses such as coronaviruses (e.g. MHV-A59)\, retroviruses (e.g. MuLV and HIV-1)\, and flaviviruses (e.g. Dengue and Zika viruses). In September 2018\, she established her research group to understand how virus protein translation can play a role in viral pathogenicity and disease\, focusing on virus-host interactions. Her model systems are coronaviruses (e.g.\, MHV-A59 and SARS-CoV-2) and flaviviruses (e.g.\, Zika virus). In 2024\, she was awarded a Wellcome Trust-Career Development Award for understanding Zika virus-induced neuropathogenesis and neurotropism. \n3. Meeting with Dr Tara Love\, Co-Founder and CTO of NANOPLUME Ltd. \nDr. Tara Love is the Co-Founder and CTO of NANOPLUME Ltd. (NANOPLUME Website )\,  a venture-backed startup developing sustainable aerogel insulation to improve energy efficiency in buildings and cold chain logistics. She completed her PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Cambridge (Jesus College and the Institute for Energy and Environmental Flows)\, where she researched porous media\, colloidal dispersions\, and wellbore strengthening. A repeat founder with previous ventures in microfluidics and education\, Tara brings interdisciplinary expertise across geoscience\, materials chemistry\, and fluid formulations. A graduate of IndieBio (SOSV) and Carbon13\, she leads innovation in biomaterials\, process intensification\, and circular manufacturing. She is also a mentor and advocate for women and neurodivergent individuals in STEM\, committed to inclusive\, impact-driven science. \n4. Meeting with Curiosity Incubator Founder Dr Bridget Gildea \nBridget Gildea founded the Curiosity Incubator to develop practical\, behavioural science-backed solutions to global challenges. She is a Senior Research Associate at the Intellectual Forum at Jesus College\, and a Member of the Board of Advisors at the Cambridge Behavioural Insights Team. As a Consultant for Public Good\, she applies behavioural science to learning and skills acquisition for organisations like the European Climate Foundation and LSHTM. Previously at Harvard Kennedy School\, Gildea established the first practitioner-focused behavioural science programme and created learning partnerships with organisations like the MacArthur Foundation\, InterAmerican Development Bank and for the German Bundestag.  Earlier\, she led the Policy & Universities portfolio for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office’s US Network. Gildea teaches in various parts of Cambridge\, writes about behavioural science application\, and has created over 120 applied learning programs globally\, bridging theoretical insights with implementable solutions to complex challenges. More about the formulation of the Curiosity Incubator available in this podcast. \nOrganised and hosted by Mousumi Shyam.
