• Run hydrodynamic and particle tracking models to study scientific problems for multiple environmental applications, such as emergency response to oil/chemical spills and ascertaining pelagic drift of mackerel eggs and larvae to aid stock assessments. Develop and maintain complex scientific code, both to run these models and analyse results. Share software development updates with internal and external collaborators via GitHub. • Contribute to a Science Computing Panel (SCP) as co-lead of HPC provision. Liaise with the Head of Research Computing at University of East Anglia, to ensure Cefas’ cluster needs are met and communicate updates on hardware upgrades to the SCP. Facilitate HPC access for new users at Cefas and coordinate with project managers to ensure HPC costs are covered.• Initiated ‘Turn up and code’ sessions to facilitate software development through knowledge sharing as part of Cefas’ 2030 strategy to harness the power of data and technology to respond to the world’s pressing problems. These sessions have been a mix of presentations about software and programmes that are available to help people get started or improve their coding skills, and time to talk through problems to provide innovative computational solutions in a group setting.

• Analysed output from the Scottish Shelf Model (SSM), an FVCOM-based model of the coastal waters surrounding Scotland using a high resolution, unstructured grid. • Contributed to the Salmon Parasite Interactions in Linnhe, Lorn and Shuna (SPILLS) working group project through validation of a sub-model of the SSM. The model’s performance was assessed using a wide range of observations including water elevation, currents, temperature, and salinity data taken from ADCPs, data buoys and CTDs. • Liaised with users of the Scottish Shelf Waters Reanalysis Service to manage access to model data from a 25 year hindcast. Produced an analytical report detailing user engagement with the service and dedicated webpage.

• Simulated fluid flow beneath Larsen C ice shelf, Antarctica using the MITgcm numerical ocean model to assess consequences of ice-ocean interactions in a warming ocean.• Developed programming skills using Matlab as a tool for analysis of model output.• Communicated clear and concise results through research seminars and international conferences.

I led a team of around ten staff members. My responsibilities were focused toward planning individuals’ roles within the team, controlling stock use, ensuring that food preparation was done in a timely manner to the required standard and that all required tasks were covered when the doors open to the general public. I also represented Pizza Hut by performing front of house duties to meet and greet customers and prepare management information at close of business around the days’ activities.

• Contributed to a five year research project (Plio-ESS) to assess Earth System Sensitivity to increasing temperatures in response to multiple feedbacks from elevated levels of atmospheric CO2. • Used Linux to mine data from multiple general circulation model simulations and produced probability density functions of likely temperature anomalies for different CO2 forcings using Matlab. • Presented results at the Past Earth Network Conference for which I was given a certificate and special mention during the poster awards in recognition of my research and poster.

Working on an independent project within the Condensed Matter group of the Physics department, I deposited thin magnetic films onto mechanically exfoliated bismuth telluride and bismuth telluride iodide (topological insulators – TIs) and investigated changes in the coercive field and anisotropy of the magnetic material. The TIs were found to significantly increase the coercivity of two different magnetic alloys and some samples showed a reversal in preferred direction of magnetisation.

This role involved advertising services provided by the University to help numerical students with math-related modules. I organised successful cafe stops and delivered communications in lectures informing students about services provided, participated in leaflet/poster drops to advertise sessions, and initiated a scheme to find the most effective method of advertising in order to be more successful in the future.
