Hi guys, I'm Joe, and I'm back as the PGR Rep! This time, however, I'm actually a Ph.D. student, so I feel more equipped to represent our smallest, but still very important group! On committee, my main role is to represent our wonderful students studying hard for a Ph.D., as well as accommodating them and encouraging them to attend CSS' events. However, I'm always happy to chat to everyone, not just PGRs! Outside of uni work, you can find me Ballroom & Latin dancing, or enthusing over many, many insects.

Good Tidings everyone, I'm Day a third year M.Sci Mathematics and Computer Science student, and will be the Hackathons Officer for this academic year. I will be mainly focused on making sure BirmingHack 3.0 is planned and executed well, but we might also have time in the schedule to run a few smaller hackathons in the runup to BirmingHack. My main pastimes are: reading, video/board games, ethical hacking, music, and maintaining my homelab and other projects at drjoness.uk. If you have any queries about BirmingHack or suggestions to be made, drop me a message on Discord or feel free to say hello in person.
