Hampshire, UK

I am an IT consultant specialising in HPC procurement and tenders from both the vendor and customer side as well as providing more general IT consultancy. I can help with all aspects of IT from strategy through procurement and deployment as well as advising on the structure and function of IT departments and helping Businesses connect with the right.

During my time at ECMWF I implemented a number of major changes to the IT infrastructure including a significant move to cloud based services allowing my team to concentrate on the core activities of HPC and large scale data storage.I was heavily involved in planning the relocation of the ECMWF data centre from Shinfield Park to Bologna as well as.

I played a major role in the establishment and development of the Hartree Centre. The Hartree Centre was funded by a £37.5M capital grant from the UK Government and was established as a fifth division within my Department with the Director of the Hartree Centre reported to me. I also secured a £19M capital investment into the Department for Energy.

As Associate Director of the Computational Science and Engineering Department I played a key role developing the proposal for the Hartree Centre project which secured £37.5M capital funding from Government. I was responsible for management of the department’s interactions with the Research Councils and PSREs as well as leading the department’s materials.

I obtained EU funding to establish the Synchrotron Radiation Research Theory Network and the follow on project called the Light Source Theory Network. These activities linked together theoretical activities at major European experimental facilities. I was responsible for the management of the CCP3 programme and also performed research on surface science.

I was a member of the Computational Materials Group with responsibility for supporting the CCP3 programme bringing together UK research groups working on surface science. I perofrmed core research on surface science and methods for the interpretation of experimental data.

I was an active research scientist working on my core research topics of methods for the interpretation of experimental data and first principles simulation of materials. I also helped with undergraduate admissions and small group teaching for the College.

Cambridge, United Kingdom

I was a Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge. I served as Director of Studies in Natural Sciences for the College with responsibility for advising undergraduates on subject choices, undergraduate admissions and small group teaching. I was a member of the College Governing Council.

With Professor Sir David King and Professor Richard Lambert we obtained the largest grant ever awarded my the Physical Chemistry panel at EPSRC for fundamental studies of surfaces.I was a lecturer within the Department of Chemistry. My core research explored Low Energy Electron Diffraction and work on total energy simulations of surfaces. I worked closely.

I was employed within the group of Professor Sir David King as a theoretical expert on the analysis of Low Energy Electron Diffraction Data. I worked closely with the experimental group to analyse and characterise a number of important gas-surface interactions.

I was award a NATO Fellowship which I held at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, California working with Dr Michel Van Hove within the group of Professor Gabor Somorjai. My work involved the development of methods for the interpretation of Low Energy Diffraction (LEED) Data. This lead to the first general release of a code utilising Tensor LEED – the.
