Sabbatical Diary: Week 22

· 1 min read · March 06, 2026 · #academic #cambridge #sabbatical

Slightly belatedly,1 a more normal week.

A bunch of background tasks related to my college.

Numerous recommendation letters for various fellowship applications—good luck everyone!

Some more paper reviewing (the end is in site) plus examination of a Ph.D. dissertation as external (document only, no in-person viva for me) for IIT Jodhpur.

And finally!

The end of the EDGELESS Project which meant, unfortunately, the end of a contract and the start of the audit process… Followed, more happily and almost immediately, by the arrival of a visitor, Theodoros Aslanidis, from University College Dublin for 6 months.

  1. This got stuck in my output queue, sorry…
