The Team

Warden Team

The team consists of 5 Wardens. Our role is to look after you and the hall of residence in cooperation with Xenia hall management staff. One warden is on-call every night after Reception closes at 6 p.m. in case of an emergency. We are also here to assist you with any problems, complaints or questions that you may have. Most of the time our responsibilities consists of social and pastoral support (we like this), with a little administration thrown in, and, as the need arises, disciplinary.

Andrea - Warden

Hello, my name is Andrea and I am the Warden at Xenia Hall. I am Lecturer in Thermofluids, Department of Mechanical Engineering. Before joining Imperial College I was post-doc in Cambridge where I experienced many aspects of college life. When not in my office, you can probably find me eating in one of the great restaurants around Waterloo or attending operas and theatre plays in one of the amazing venues we have nearby. The wardening team are here to help you with all aspects of college life, you can ask us anything and the probability is we won’t have the answer but we usually know who will.

Amen - Subwarden

Hello :), I'm Amen, I'm Nigerian, and I'm about to start my second year as a PhD student at the School of Public Health. My research focuses on improving early warning systems for maternal sepsis, and I'm based out of the Dept. of Infectious Disease Epidemiology.
I love to travel and experience new cultures, and so far, I've travelled to, or lived in, India, Thailand, Russia, Germany, France, Montenegro, Barbados, Nigeria, and England. When I'm on campus and free from studying, you'll probably find me in the kitchen; I love to bake and cook! I'm getting back to healthier habits this term, so if you're looking for an accountability partner, or someone to debate politics with, feel free to pop by.

Hi, I'm Nic, a new Physics PhD student and Subwarden at Xenia. I really enjoy teaching, movies, and meeting and chatting with people at social events and impromptu board game evenings.

Annika - Subwarden

Hi, my name is Annika. I’m starting my PhD in the development of lower-limb exoskeletons in partnership with a university in Munich, and I did my undergrad at Imperial in Mechanical Engineering. I love travelling, discovering places on foot, and of course eating plenty of great food! If I’m not working, you can probably find me at the gym or making some music, but I’ll always have free time to chat about your course or uni life in general. Looking forward to meeting you all, I’m sure you will spend an amazing time with us in Xenia!

Senior Team

The people you will probably have most contact with initially (besides your neighbours) are the Seniors, short for Hall Seniors or Senior Students. As a bunch of ex-freshers, they have returned this year to help you settle in, and to help organise the Hall social life and events throughout the year. The Seniors have already been through at least one year of University, so they are a useful source of information on London life and generally supply a sympathetic ear to people’s problems. Feel free to drop in on them to ask any questions, or just have a chat over a cup of coffee.
