I am a recent doctoral graduate from Cardiff University looking to start a career in research software engineering. My PhD was in physics at a crossroads between medical imaging, mathematics, and machine learning. It involved applying a dimensionality reduction technique known as reduced order modelling to a brain imaging method called electical impedance tomography. During my 4 year PhD I was lucky enough to be trained in good coding practice (e.g. continous integration, version control etc.) by research software engineers and have been interested in this line of work ever since.
Outside of my work, I’m a keen runner and cyclist, using data to get more out of myself, with varying degrees of success and enthusiasm. I also enjoy being outdoors in almost any capacity, and taking the occasional picture or four. I recently travelled through New Zealand and sailed from there to California, across the Pacific Ocean.
