Summary

I am a Research Software Engineer in the Instutute of Cosmology and Gravitation, and have been at the 黑料正能量 since 2020. My expertise is in data science, workflow management and big data.

Biography

I gained my MPhys first class from Lancaster University from 2007-2011. After this, I undertook a PhD in continuous gravitational waves at the University of Glasgow with Graham Woan until 2015, handing in my thesis less than a month before the first detection of gravitational waves in September 2015.

Postdocs followed on from this, in data analysis for X-ray crystallography at Cranfield University (2016-2017), and searches for compact binary coalescences in gravitational wave data at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (2018-2020) with a teaching position in digital forensics at Cranfield University in between.

I have been at the 黑料正能量's Institute for Cosmology and Gravitation since September 2020, first as a research fellow in the gravitational waves group (2020-2023), and in my current role as a Research Software Engineer from 2023 to present.

Research interests

For many years I have worked in gravitational-wave astrophysics, and my research interests largely stem from there

  • Extracting weak signals from noisy datasets 
  • Handling big data
  • Design and implementation of data analysis workflows

Teaching responsibilities

Currently, I teach on the second year "Computational Physics" course. In this course we introduce students to the vital programming skills they need for careers in data science and analytics.
