I am one of the AI Supercomputing Infrastructure Leads looking after the Isambard-AI and Isambard3 supercomputers at the University of Bristol. This is an exciting project which I am eager to share more about as we prepare for our launch.https://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2023/november/supercomputer-announcement.htmlBefore this, I was Head of Research Software Engineering at the University of Bristol (https://bristol.ac.uk/acrc/research-software-engineering). My group specialised in developing research software and providing training and support to academics. I was Joint-Chair of the UK Research Software Engineering Association (https://rse.ac.uk), was a founding trustee of the Society of Research Software Engineering (https://society-rse.org), and a first-cohort EPSRC RSE Fellow.My background is as a computational chemist specialising in the development of new algorithms and software and an experienced HPC programmer. I wrote a complete C++/Python molecular simulation framework (Sire, https://sire.openbiosim.org) and was a co-founder of BioSimSpace (https://biosimspace.openbiosim.org), both of which are now supported by the OpenBioSim Community Interest Company (https://openbiosim.org). I write software that runs on everything from laptops to national supercomputers.Specialties: Software testing, Software Engineering, Software Architecture, Statistical thermodynamics, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, Monte Carlo sampling, HPC programming, Functional Programming, Parallel Programming, C++, Python, R, Cloud

Listed skills include Quantum Mechanics, Computational Chemistry, Python, C++, and 14 others.
