Profile

Experienced and competent data analyser

I have 10 years' experience making key contributions to large international projects, working in the UK, Switzerland and Germany. I have a PhD in Particle Physics from The University of Manchester and am highly skilled in data analysis, mathematical modelling and enjoy problem solving. Strong proficiency programming in Python and C++, as well as experience with Mathematica. Competence in the MacOS, Linux and Windows operating systems.

Skilled communicator

I have presented my results and ideas at several international workshops and conferences (including in Tokyo, Berlin and Lake Louise), as well as recently giving invited seminars at the Universities of Birmingham, Warwick and Cambridge. I have daily dialogue with team members as well as giving semi-formal weekly or bi-weekly update presentations to a wider audience. My work, in collaboration with my colleagues, has been published in leading international journals.

Proven manager and leader

I have been responsible for supervising both PhD and Masters level students, successfully managing our projects to final publication. Led the ‘ATLAS muon data quality group’, which entailed responsibility for organising shift schedules and personnel training, as well as managing a team of around 10 people maintaining and developing the data quality software.
