At ECMWF I have a number of roles as a Computational Scientist in the Computing Department :- Developing a version of the NEMO ocean model that uses single-precision floating-point arithmetic. This will aid in ECMWF's efforts to run high-resolution Earth-System models for weather prediction.- Investigating the applications of the Modular Supercomputing Architecture to ECMWF's high-performance forecasting model, as part of the EuroHPC project DEEP-SEA.- Porting and testing components of the ECMWF weather forecasting model to very large supercomputers, notably Frontier at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory - the largest supercomputer in the world.- Development of the open-source software package for spectral transforms of meteorological fields, ecTrans.

I conducted data assimilation research as an intern in the Data Assimilation Research Team of the RIKEN Centre for Computational Science, supervised by Drs Takemasa Miyoshi and Keiichi Kondo. I was funded by the JSPS Summer Program.

Bristol

I worked on all aspects of the back-end and front-end of SmartSign, a two-factor authentication system for securing web logins. I used a wide variety of web technologies, including HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails and .NET.

I worked at the Surrey Space Centre to develop a Cherenkov radiation detector. I learned how to prototype basic electronic circuits and developed MATLAB scripts for processing radiation belt readings from geostationary satellites.

I developed MATLAB scripts for processing gravimeter data, in order to explore caves remotely.

My DPhil (i.e. PhD) thesis focused on data assimilation in numerical weather prediction, the statistical process by which patchy.
