Researchers at all stages

About the facilitator

Dr Catherine Pope was awarded her doctorate by the University of Sussex in 2014. Since then, she has trained thousands of researchers at all stages, supporting them in reaching their goals. With a diverse professional background in academia, software engineering, and publishing, she enjoys learning difficult concepts and helping other people understand them. Catherine has written extensively about her favourite fields of technology and Victorian literature. She's currently working (very slowly) on her fourth book and finding new ways of tricking herself into writing.
