What an insane year!
At the beginning, I was balancing writing up my thesis with training large language model on DataAnotation to make ends meet.
Now, I'm officially a doctor (the PhD flavour), with a bunch of new research projects already under my belt as a PDRA at CoSTAR Live Lab. It's been an amazing experience to work with so many clever and creative people and companies... including:
Jack Hardwick, Jacob Cooper, Glen Kelly, Mollie Middleton, Gavin Kearney, Helena Daffern, Alan Pedrassoli Chitayat, Jonathan Hook, Dar'ya Guarnera, Damian Murphy, Laney Haywood, Phil Adlam, David Pauliuc, Peter Nye, Tyler Palmer, James Major, Xtra Reality, Shaun Ames MMC, Rachael Hughes, Volumetric Video Ltd: Edward Jenkins, Precision Devices International Limited: Mark Barnes, Fouad Abidi, Neil Barnes, Tim Pratt, Copper Candle: James Simpson, Machine Earth: Anthony Frisby, Erin Robinson, Calderdale College: Rebecca Weeks, Simon Dunn, The Piece Hall Trust: Aaron Casserly Stewart, and last but not least Evan Mezeske from Anukari, LLC!
