USA 2022

Between June and August 2022, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Ran Cheng’s group at the University of California, Riverside, to work on a (still ongoing, at time of writing) project. This post, however, is about the exciting things I got up to when I was not working! The UCR Bell Tower. Rather than flying directly to Los Angeles, I decided that I would book my flight to Seattle, a city that I had been wanting to visit for a good decade.

Photography

As a teenager, I was quite into photography, especially after my parents got me a Canon EOS 600D for Christmas when I was 15. Although I don’t really do so much of this at the moment, here is a collection of photos that I have taken in various places around the world.

Setting up Inverse Search with Neovim, VimTeX and Zathura

Note 06.01.2023: With the release of VimTex 2.8, you probably don’t need to do this any more. See :help vimtex-synctex-inverse-search. There are many reasons to write LaTeX in Vim instead of the more “traditional” LaTeX editors. Maybe you want to type long equations quickly with the help of UltiSnips, or you just want to make the most of Vim’s many features. VimTeX is a plugin for Vim (and Neovim) which allows for the easy authoring of LaTeX files using Vim, with useful features such as autocompilation, and Zathura is a minimalist, highly customisable document viewer with Vim keybindings by default.
