Latest Happenings in the 2DMD Sphere

Christmas Lunch 2025

We celebrated our 2025 Christmas Lunch at St John's College, gathering together for a warm afternoon of food, laughter, and unwinding. This year, we were delighted to welcome Prof. Vasant Kumar, Prof. Shijing Sun and her students, and colleagues from the Royce team, all of whom made the occasion even more meaningful. We also enjoyed a lively round of Secret Santa, filled with thoughtful gifts and plenty of smiles all around.

Here's to a wonderful end to 2025 and to an exciting year ahead for all of us!!
