Aurora is a PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Prior to earning her MPhil degree from Cambridge with Distinction and Best Dissertation Award, she majored in Spanish and minored in Psychology with a First and Best Dissertation Award. Her research lies at the intersection of applied linguistics, psychology, and sociology. In addition to research training in areas such as experimental design, she is particularly interested in digital scholarship and open research.

I am a PhD student in the Department of Zoology using bioinformatics to analyse the genome of the Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens, which is currently the world's premier species for converting food waste into high-protein animal feed.

Although I am originally from Australia, before coming to Cambridge I worked for five years as both a Research Scientist and a Facility Manager at the Pirbright Institute in Surrey.

As Marshall Librarian I have taken an active role in supporting the Faculty of Economics with research. I have experience of supporting Open Access and Copyright. I have also completed Masters level training in RDM in my previous role at University of Sheffield. Craig Peacock, IT Manager in Economics, and I are working together as Research Data Champions in the Faculty. We are exploring training opportunities for undergraduates and all new postgraduate students in RDM and we have also given advice on completing ESRC Data Management Plans to academic staff making grant applications.
