% PERSONAL PROFILE
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Personal Statement}
I am an experienced researcher in astrophysics, with skills in scientific software development, data analysis, and visualisation. Some of the research software engineering highlights have included writing high-performance parallel code to numerically solve systems of differential equations (to model chemical enrichment of stellar clusters and high-energy particle interactions), using matrix-based methods for solving large systems of linear equations (to determine atomic level populations), and applying Monte Carlo techniques to simulate photon interactions (radiative transfer) in three dimensions. I have contributed to open source software used in research, and advocated for software engineering best-practices in collaborative projects.\\
I have a strong track record of obtaining scientific insights from computationally demanding theoretical work, having given over many scientific talks at professional conferences and institutes, and published articles in peer-reviewed science journals.\\
I have contributed as a co-investigator on successful research grants and HPC computing time proposals for international facilities. I enjoy teaching and have chosen to gain experience tutoring and giving lectures for undergraduate physics courses, and co-supervised PhD, Master's, and Google Summer of Code students on a variety of projects in astrophysics and software development.\\
%
% Within the School of Mathematics and Physics, I have volunteered as a Postdoctoral Representatives and am a member of the Athena SWAN committee for gender equality. In these roles, I have organised social events to build connections between people in different research clusters, organised career information days with invited speakers, and supported efforts to improve diversity in STEM careers.\\
I have expertise in:
\begin{itemize}
\item Scientific research and publishing in peer-reviewed journals
\item Leading the development of numerically-intensive C++ code for radiative transfer simulations
\item Performance optimisation with multithreading and parallel algorithms (OpenMP and MPI)
\item Collaborative development with version control (Git), continuous integration, and automated testing
\item Developing tools to process and visualise large data sets to extract meaningful insights (Python with polars, pandas, and matplotlib)
\item Statistics, differential equations, and linear algebra (machine learning fundamentals)
\end{itemize}
