Jim is a Senior Research Software Engineer at the Turing. He studied in Durham for his PhD where he used Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations to explore a generic model for patchy, colloidal building blocks and optimise their design for self-assembly.
Before joining the Turing, Jim worked at STFC's Daresbury Laboratory as a developer of the DL_POLY molecular dynamics software.
Research interests
At the Turing Jim is eager to promote open-source and good software development practices.
He has particular interest in high-performance computing, infrastructure automation, and configuration management.
