Throughout my career I've worked with one foot in science (Chemistry and/or Materials Science) and one foot in computing (computer modelling, programming, databases).
This started during my PhD at UCL computer modelling zeolites and then continued when I worked as a Materials Information Consultant for Granta Design where I made databases of materials properties, test data, and design data and trained customers to set up, use and integrate these with their workflows. I then worked for the Royal Society of Chemistry developing RSC resources (RSC Publications; ChemSpider; ontologies; educational projects e.g. the RSC Learn Chemistry Wiki) and linking these resources to each other and externally to the RSC, to projects, companies and academics.
I am currently working as a Senior Data Engineer on the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (psdi.ac.uk) project which aims to accelerate research in the physical sciences by providing a data infrastructure that brings together and builds upon the various data systems researchers currently use.
