Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Thomson is a PhD student and data scientist based in London with 13 years’ experience building optimisation and machine learning systems that drive real-world decision-making under uncertainty. He specialises in end-to-end modelling pipelines combining simulation, statistical methods and ML—applying neural networks, reinforcement learning and multi-objective constrained optimisation to explore high-dimensional chemical spaces for supramolecular design. Comfortable from scientific scripting in Python to high-performance C and legacy Fortran adaptation, he has led cloud-based optimisation on Oracle Cloud with tenancy-level budget and policy ownership and HPC/GPU workflow orchestration (SLURM/SGE). He also teaches practical programming and ML as a PGTA and has delivered outreach workshops, reflecting a knack for translating complex computational ideas to diverse audiences. A less obvious strength is his focus on balancing model performance with compute cost and delivery constraints, making his work both scientifically rigorous and operationally pragmatic.
