Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Jackson is a computational scientist blending 13 years of modelling and software experience at the intersection of atomistic theory and experimental instrumentation. He spent seven years doing DFT-driven research on novel optoelectronic materials (PhD and PDRA roles) and now develops software at STFC to connect theory and instrument scientists, aiming to turn tooling into publishable science. Trained as a chemical engineer, he brings strong numerical modelling and high-performance computing experience to problems in lattice dynamics, ab initio thermodynamics and sustainability. Comfortable with scientific Python and reproducible research practices, he also maintains an active interest in computational thermodynamics and chemistry. A Software Sustainability Institute fellow, he pairs domain expertise with research software engineering to make complex simulations accessible and reliable. Colleagues value his habit of turning side-product code into durable tools that bridge academic and facility workflows.
