2018:
- Melbourne, Australia: “Low-dimensional topology” course, Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute summer school. This counted towards my MSc degree. I also audited Oliynyk’s general relativity course

- Warsaw, Poland: The 2nd workshop on Singularities of general relativity and their quantum fate
- Dublin, Ireland: Dublin School on Gravitational Wave Source Modelling, 2 weeks
- Potsdam, Germany: 21st Capra Meeting on Radiation Reaction in General Relativity. I really should have learnt my lesson about attending conferences outside of my research area, however this is still theoretical GR, I am curious to visit the respected Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam (the theoretical branch), plus I might even network.
- Rome, Italy: Fifteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting (MG15). I can’t miss the biggest relativity conference of the year! I gave parallel session talks Cosmic cable and Clarifying spatial distance measurement
