Data Champions Search

I am a PhD student studying the compaction of pharmaceutical powders into tablets. My main focus is on computer simulations but I make intensive use of experimental data to parametrise and validate my models. I like combining experimental and computational results as well as developing automated analysis methods. I also have experience working with large data sets and high-performance computing (HPC). Although my current research is on granular matter, my background is mainly in colloidal chemistry.

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Scott Polar Research Institute, where I use a combination of novel satellite imaging techniques, airborne geophysical observations and climate-ocean model data to investigate the key climatic drivers responsible for controlling the rapid deterioration of the Antarctic Ice Sheet since the onset of the satellite era (~1970-present). As such, I have a range of experience in the handling, processing and visualisation of complex geospatial datasets, and have experience in the usage of several different computer programming languages to do this. My experience also includes the long-term archiving and preservation of data to support scientific reproducibility, ranging from the publication of small, project-specific datasets to institutional collections (including assisting with the recent publication of SPRI’s historical Arctic airborne radio echo sounding data archives).
