Researcher at the intersection of renewable energy and physical oceanography. My interests centre around renewable energy and the use of regional-scale hydrodynamic modelling to support human activities, understand their effects, and improve planning and policymaking.In a broader sense, I care about — without necessarily being expert on — most aspects of energy and energy transition. The physics is great, and important, but it won’t solve our problems in isolation, and the solutions need to consider the environment and society. My teaching reflects this generalist viewpoint.Programme leader for MSc Renewable & Sustainable Energy Transition at Heriot-Watt University.I'm an instructor for the Software Carpentry organisation, which teaches basic software development skills to academics to improve the efficiency and reproducibility of computational research. I was a founding member of their Code of Conduct Committee.I'm a Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, with interests in the reproducibility of computational research and training for researchers in software best practice.Publications at http://simonwaldman.me.uk/publications/Please do not use contact requests to send me messages; I do not generally "connect" to people I have not met or worked with.
