A rower tries kayaking

Jun 24, 2024 | varsity.co.uk | Alex Lee

Alex Lee compares his experiences of the boating sports the Cam has to offer In an act of betrayal and secession, I recently indulged in the other boating sport – kayaking. Continuing my never-ending quest to find a sport I enjoy and stick with, I signed up for a beginner’s kayaking course, run by Cambridge University Canoe Club. A change of scenery Even as a relatively inexperienced rower, I have rowed between the boathouses and Baits Bite Lock far too many times to keep track.
PFAS, Fire Protection And A Global Rise In Legal Cases

Jun 21, 2024 | mondaq.com | Alex Lee

First published in the Fire Protection Association Journal May 2024 Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) entered mainstream public consciousness with the release of the Hollywood film Darkwaters. Every day, news articles announce previously unknown detections of PFAS in drinking water supplies or identify new consumer products as potential sources of PFAS. Over 6,400 PFAS-related lawsuits have been filed globally since 2005,1 , and numbers are rising.
The highs of May Bumps

Jun 18, 2024 | varsity.co.uk | Alex Lee

After four intense days of racing in conditions that spanned across all four seasons, this year’s May Bumps have finally come to an end. With 154 boats comprising 1,386 rowers and coxes taking part, as well as many more coaches, boatpersons and spectators, the appeal of crashing into other boats post-exams simply does not seem to wane.

After back-to-back Cuppers victories for John’s in 2022 and 2023, Grange Road welcomed some new faces to this year’s final. Having beaten the Redboys by a score of 32-7 in the semi finals, Jesus guaranteed that a new team would emerge victorious from this season’s competition. Up against them was a mighty Catz/Hom team, full of momentum after a 48-5 win against last year’s runner’s up, Fitz/Sidney.
Why you should be supporting your local athletes

May 3, 2024 | varsity.co.uk | Alex Lee

As someone who used to spend extensive amounts of time watching professional sports, I have recently felt increasingly uneasy about my enthusiasm for prominent sporting events. Admittedly, a lot of the short-form media I consume is still made up of elite athletes running at speeds I can hardly comprehend, aesthetic rowing reels featuring international rowers, or just some sort of elite sports highlight.
Effect of off-diagonal elements in the Wannier Hamiltonian on $\mathrm{DFT}+\mathrm{DMFT}$ for low-symmetry materials: Study of ${\mathrm{Li}}_{2}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$

Nov 21, 2023 | link.aps.org | Alex Lee |Hyowon Park |Anh Ngo

We study the effect of the off-diagonal elements of the Wannier Hamiltonian on the electronic structure of the low-symmetry material Li2MnO3 (C2/m), using dynamical mean field theory calculations with a continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver. The presence of significant off-diagonal elements leads to a pronounced suppression of the energy gap.
