Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| PI Contribution | Simulations for the 4MOST-TiDES survey. Following up LSST transients, how many spectra we can get, limiting magnitudes based on 4MOST cabailities and our spectral success criteria, the impact on our science goals. Produced a white paper in 2019, official proposal submission 2020 |
| Collaborator Contribution | Sharing of science plots and figures to then use in our own work |

| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | Progress towards the planning of science with LSST (Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, aka Vera Rubin Observatory), including survey strategy, cadence, potential results taking these into account in the project context of accumulating supernovae for cosmology |
| Collaborator Contribution | Included my PhD as one of their official projects in the supernova working group. Simulation of many LSST survey strategies for a range of different proposals. Useful discussions through email, telecon, conferences. |
| Impact | There have been many LSST documents published/shared internally for the collaboration that are not public. Several papers in prep Individual conference on machine learning classifiers for LSST transients with spectroscopic training samples in Clermont-Ferrand, 2019, with many discussions and goals listed as a result |

| Geographic Reach | Local |
| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | This was a talk I gave during my industry placement at ESO (European Southern Observatory) in which I presented my project that I had been working on at ESO, as well as my wider PhD work. The session was aimed at the ESO students and fellows to introduce new research ideas and give general presentation experience. |
