Significant exposure to Java, Python and C++, and relevant ML frameworks. Extensive experience with both discrete-event & agent-based simulation.Published research in multiple peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences.Involved with planning, teaching, and delivery of MSc ‘Manufacturing Informatics’ and 3rd year undergraduate ‘Product Design’ modules.Significant project management and soft skills experience. Responsible for planning, development, and delivery of all aspects of the research projects, and communication of these aspects will collaborators and stakeholders. Show less
