+**Who helped you this week?**
+- Ellie with the IOP and summer school payment! Looking forward to both these events
+- **What did you achieve?**
+- Had a long week of CDT training this week so not a lot of time for research work. 
+
+### Date: 18th January 2022
+**Who helped you this week?**
+- Finally added to the VASP group, thanks to Jimmy? Ben? No sign off with the IT ticket
+**What did you achieve?**
+- Updated the soft modes overleaf, worked on the project approval
+- Phonon spectra work for the perovskite project, going to text and equations on finite displacement methods
+### Date: 14th December 2021
+**Who helped you this week?**
+- Aims coordinators for the help with Born effective charges info, new aims version
+**What did you achieve?**
+- Running aims on archer2 now but the free queue is insanely long, alternative methods on 4c or oswald. 
+- Complied aims myself (!!) from the git version on Oswald 
+**What did you struggle with?**
+- Sent Jimmy a word about being added to VASP group, no response
+
+**What would you like to work on next week?**
+- 
+### Date: 7th December 2021
+**Who helped you this week?**
+- Matthias with the aims binary for archer2, this is great can finally run this project with a code I am comfortable with
+**What did you achieve?**
+- Setting up aims for archer2
+- Running test calculations and benchmarks for grid and convergence settings
+- Settled on a phonon spectrum convergence critieria, supercells must incorporate octahedral tilting -- no odd expansions in supercells 
+**What did you struggle with?**
+- Sent Jimmy a word about being added to VASP group, no response
+
+**What would you like to work on next week?**
+- Prepare to fill in for Lucy's class next week
+- Get aims running on Oswald/Archer2
+### Date: 30 November 2021
+**What did you achieve?**
+- Ran my first VASP calculations, setting up with archer2
+- Following the tutorial series for VASP and getting acquainted with VASP
+
+**What did you struggle with?**
+- Sent Jimmy a word about being added to VASP group, no response
+
+**What would you like to work on next week?**
+- Get started with aims and plans for spectroscopy
+
+### Date: 23 November 2021
+**What did you achieve?**
+- Spoke at the CDT week presentation
+- Attended the CDT week presentations with all the other cohorts
+- Attended the FHI-aims lecture on ab initio thermodynamics calculations
+
+**What did you struggle with?**
+- Sent Jimmy a word about being added to VASP group, no response
+
+**What would you like to work on next week?**
+- Start on the VASP calulations, this is still not done 
+- 
+### Date: 16 November 2021
+**Who helped you this week?**
+- Meeting with Guilia regarding the chalcogenide perovskite project to give a clear experimetal motivation for the project
+- Lucy with the monitor, helps me be much more productive in the office
+
+
+**Who did you help this week?**
+- Checked in with Daniel's incoming student and helped her with her application from India
+
+
+**What did you achieve?**
+- Submitted the project descripton to Yongtao for the website
+- Drafted the CDT week presentation
+- Adding new text to the soft-phonons overleaf
+- Collecting new text on IR/Raman spectroscopy 
+- Finally have access to Archer2, start running serious DFT soon
+
+
+**What did you struggle with?**
+- Talking to Ben about being added to VASP group
+
+
+**What would you like to work on next week?**
+- Geometry relaxation of the chalcogenide perovskite, lowest energy phase from Materials Project/AFLOW/OQMD/ICSD
+- Run my first VASP calculation 
+- Verify if there are soft modes in the lowest energy phase, use the mode map code to find lower symmetry phase
+- Plan for spectroscoPY version with aims
+- Schematic diagrams for the soft-phonon modes
+
+**Where do you need help from Lucy?**
+- Job scripts on archer and vasp input files
+- With the purchasing department for the computer/conference payment
