String theory and machine learning - two hot topics in physics, but how do you combine them? I'm talking to Thomas, a PhD student at the University of Oxford - my alma mater - about his research, and life at Oxford. Along the way I get to do some reflecting on my experience studying at Oxford, and how things have changed since then.

Studying string theory at the university of oxford. What's it like studying a PhD at Oxford in string theory? What is string theory? How do you combine machine learning with string theory? I talk to Thomas, a grad student at the University of Oxford about his PhD research in string theory, and how he uses machine learning to advance physics.

You know, I felt that. That moment of closure with an old place you had bad memories with. Walking the halls as a different person, being somewhat disconnected from it. And being able to finally close that chapter for you. I'm felt how emotional it was for you to go to that bookstore near the campus and finding your published book in it. i can imagine it must have been even more emotional donating that book to the library, And amazing that the librarian still remembered to you.
Good on you finally finding peace. Have some happy time with your wife, guess your definitely earned that!

As always this series remains fascinating and informative. Great to see you putting your book in your college library. Keep the series coming Simon.

Seeing you find your book in the shop made me so happy. You deserve every bit of it! Alongside the absolutely spectacular video, content and those amazing minds, I've found another Morning brain teaser game in Flagle. Goes alongside Worldle, Framed and Wordle. Thanks as always Simon!

Hi Simon. Iāve been watching your videos (as many here have been) since your days in Oxford. I just want to give you a huge congratulations on the publishing of your book! Your story really is inspiring, given the adversity you have faced, and your refusal to let it stop you from doing what you love. I now have a copy of your book and Iām looking forward to start reading it! Congratulations again, I canāt wait to see what happens next in your story š

When my Master's thesis work does not go well as I expected, your videos always reboot me.
Excellent work!

Great video as always, Simon!

i've been playing Flagle every day for several months (without knowing anything about who created it, I just enjoyed it), I'm amazed to randomly find the creator in a video! I'm a big geography fan who tends to struggle a bit with knowing flags, and I've found it very helpful for that and fun to boot. Shoutout to Ryan!

Fantastic video. Love to see any insight into the cutting edge of physics

That was honestly the best ad for Nebula I've seen yet, I had no idea it was owned by creators, that's awesome!

I really resonate with how you were describing your experience at Oxford, I did math at Berkeley for my undergrad and for me personally it was both a really really challenging time emotionally and academically and mental health wise, and Iāve been wrestling with that since I graduated. But it also was the best time academically, I really enjoyed parts of it even though I felt emotionally destroyed. Iāve only recently started reckoning with how it shaped me and how Iāve since changed. Thanks for sharing your story and experience ā¤

This was great to watch! As a PhD student myself I'm really happy to see examples of students who love their work and have a good relationship with their supervisor.
Most of the outside perception of PhD students is the opposite. While of course there are mental health problems within these programmes (and many just shitty situations), it's not helped when all we see is about how depressed we should be. How we just have to grind through 4 years of hell to get that paper.

This is a very cool format.

This was amazing!! it would be awesome to see some more economics like the ECB video!

Amazing video!

Hey Simon, I really love your PhD Stories series. I understand it is not quite easy task for you, but if you can have more PhD students like this one, we would love to watch it. I was inspired by you and I am doing my PhD. Would really love to know how fellow PhD students are coping with and keeping up with research and grad school altogther. Thanks and always love to watch your videos.

I understood little bit but its cool that PhD students are finally getting a voice outside academia
