I am an experienced researcher and scientific software developer with strong analytical and problem solving skills. My interests lie in challenging and collaborative scientific, numerical or data-intensive problems. My career to date has involved interdisciplinary research in a wide range of topics, providing me with particular experience in collaborating with experts from very different backgrounds. I have considerable computing experience, with a large amount of numerical programming and algorithm implementation, mainly in C++ and Python but touching on VBA, Fortran, Matlab, and R.

R&D Engineer @ Intellisense.io are an innovative startup who have developed an Internet of Things platform for use in industrial settings, particularly in mining. Combining wireless data collection hardware with a cloud computing system to produce the insight required to improve production yields, reduce waste and increase uptime. My work involves building mathematical models of complex processes and incorporating them into the cloud-based analysis program. The software is written in node.js and I use python and R for exploratory research and model development. I work remotely from Cork in Ireland with a small team based in Cambridge but including members in other locations. From July 2015 to Present (6 months) Higher Radiation Protection Scientist @ I worked in the Emergency Assessments and Advice group in the Environmental Assessments Department of the Centre for Chemical, Radiation and Environmental Hazards. My responsibilities included research and development of models and advice for use in the event of a nuclear or radiological emergency. While working here I developed skills in GIS and further enhanced my skills in Python development and Microsoft Office (including VBA). From March 2014 to May 2015 (1 year 3 months) James Martin Fellow @ Researching stochastic modelling and computing for weather and climate prediction. Main organiser of a successful international conference in Oxford in March 2013. Guest editor of a themed issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A Invited speaker at ACM Frontiers of Computing conference in Ischia, Italy in 2013 Participated in a number of workshops and conferences, and delivered seminars at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign; IBM Watson Research Centre; Queen Mary, University of London and Oxford University. From April 2011 to February 2014 (2 years 11 months) Postdoctoral Research Associate @ Collaborative project with Schlumberger Oilfield Plc, working on Locally adaptive time-stepping for reservoir simulation From January 2010 to March 2011 (1 year 3 months) Lecturer @ Fixed-term lecturer position. Delivered and examined courses for the Mathematical Sciences BSc degree: 1st year: Mechanics 2nd year: Mathematical Modelling, C++ Programming 3rd year: Partial Differential Equations, Mathematical Methods 4th year: Mathematics of Financial Derivatives From October 2007 to December 2009 (2 years 3 months)
