I've been busy with work and preparation for the new academic year over last few summer months. Not a single day that I was unwell. Now I'm ready for the new academic year and today's my last working day before going for my one week break in Greece. Guess what? I now have a cold! 😣 #bvpclecturer

Led the visit with #universityofleeds students to #SchneiderElectric in Leeds on where students had hands-on experience with their power system products and witnessed first-hand how a high-tech, smart and green manufacturing site operates in real time. Four of my ex students working there now.

Ice cream was our coffee break for the PGR (PhD) Conference 2025 for our School (Electronic and Electrical Engineering) at the University of Leeds, not cake, not biscuits. Very special #bvpclecturer

Third day of #FeLT2025 by @unileedsodpl.bsky.social. This was my drawing to interpret what Active Learning is. No genAI. Just my own work with me giving myself the prompts but somehow after using genAI for generating images for a while, I think it has genAI style!

Just sharing the first corporate profile photo of me taken by the University with shaved head. The previous ones were all with my hair still. And I don't need the one drinking chai latte #bvpclecturer

Found these abandoned printed notes on the way to the University. If they're for an open book exam, it'd be an unfortunate day for the owner. If there were just for revision, they might be confident enough to discard these or if their exam was over, they might have thought they didn't need them. So?

My garden after some TLC and me being away. No more early spring flowers blooming. So now waiting for the later ones.
In the next few weeks and months, it will be my sanctuary after coming back from work! A place for reflection and winding down. #bvpcgardener

Would Lake District be too far for a field trip for my students? I think so. But this was the hydropower plant at Rydal Hall which I found as I was out there for a circular walk between Grasmere and Ambleside #bvpcrambler
