What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles or relocation anywhere where I can apply scientific computing, machine learning, software development, and multidisciplinary research to challenging real-world problems.

At the University of Manchester, I research total column ozone, spectral ultraviolet radiation, and ice-crystal scattering while developing instrumentation, calibration, maintenance, and analysis procedures.

My PhD research investigated cirrus cloud microphysical properties to improve climate-change modelling. I have developed algorithms for ice-crystal geometry generation, roughness measurement, image classification, 3D reconstruction, and CUDA-accelerated scattering calculations, with published work on ice-crystal aggregate geometries and roughness parameters.

I also teach Computer Science topics including Data Science, Machine Learning, Python, C++, and MATLAB, and support students in atmospheric physics, mathematics, and statistics.

Across software and engineering projects, I've built web-based student tracking systems, geospatial data APIs, formation-recognition AI, reservoir models, gesture-recognition systems, and optimal well-location software. I enjoy applying scientific computing, machine learning, and full-stack development to multidisciplinary problems.
