Our team

I joined EPCC in June 1998 as an Applications Consultant, and I now work as a Group Manager.

I completed my BSc in Statistics and Actuarial Science in Greece back in 2010. Then I moved to Lancaster where I did my MSc and PhD in Statistics focusing on computational and Bayesian statistics.

In 2015 I joined EPCC as a Data Science Application developer. During my time here I have been working on industrial data science projects and have also been involved in teaching on the MSc course.

I joined EPCC in 2013 and since then have worked all HPC services hosted at EPCC as well as data services such as EIDF. I work in the Systems team and have a systems administration background. I currently work primarily as a project manager supporting the deployment of changes and services.

I joined EPCC in early 2023, just after completing my PhD in CFD development for maritime applications at the University of Southampton and MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands). My research focused on improving the trade-offs between solution accuracy and parallel performance for complex simulations. Such simulations may include, for example, the motion of a ship in waves with rotating propellers and moving rudders.

I started work at EPCC as an HPC applications consultant in 2019. My background is in computational astrophysics, focusing on star formation and galactic dynamics, having completed my undergraduate degree, PhD and a postdoctoral position at the University of St Andrews. Nothing quite beats being able to make a nice movie at the end of a star formation simulation.

Before joining EPCC in 2023, I completed my MEng in computer science at the University of Manchester. I have a background in computer vision and spent a year at AstraZeneca using machine learning for early drug research.

I joined EPCC in 2024, having previously worked in the  University of Edinburgh Bayes Centre Education Team.

I joined EPCC in November 2020, working on the Data SlipStream, involving processing of Earth observation satellite data to track forestation dynamics, and Materials and Molecular Modelling (MMM) Exascale Design and Development, looking at taking MMM computation to the exascale.

I joined EPCC in November 2023.  I previously graduated from the University of Dundee in 2020 with a BSc in Physics with Astrophysics, with the focus of the final dissertation being the evolution of the orbits of Jupiter Mass exoplanets through tidal migration.

I joined EPCC in January 2022, while writing up my PhD thesis in Monte Carlo modelling of Raman spectroscopy to improve breast cancer detection, at the University of Exeter. Prior to this, I completed an MPhys integrated Masters in Astrophysics at the University of St Andrews. In my free time, I like to go for runs and read.

I joined EPCC in 2023 to work on Data Science projects after completing a Masters in Computer Science in Bonn, Germany. I love to spend my free time playing board games, going for long walks, and gardening.

I joined the ACF team located at Easter Bush in February of 2018, although I have been involved on and off with the team here since 2016. In my role of Data Centre Manager I am responsible for managing the Mechanical/Electrical plant & services, Security, and general site management duties to ensure we minimise risk to the on-site services and ensure they operate to their best capability and efficacy.

I joined EPCC as an Applications Consultant in 2021. I am currently expecting a PhD in Clinical Data Science (breast oncology) that is complemented by my highly multidisciplinary training background spanning across Biomedical Engineering, ICT, Business and recently, Space Sciences. Domains of interests including non-conventional computing, accelerator technologies, space and satellites, AI/ ML applications as well as information, health and biosecurity. I am aspiring to establishing myself at the intersection of ‘space, life and machines’. In my ‘free’ time, I love being physically active too, otherwise delving into interesting books, exploring music creation or experimenting with culinary arts.

My primary interest is in mesoscale simulation methods for fluid dynamics, particularly the lattice Boltzmann method, and accelerating their implementations on parallel computers. With a background in computational physics, I am generally interested in applying HPC to scientific problems, particularly use of accelerators, performance portability, and software engineering. I also teach on EPCC’s MSc programmes.
