Summary - Dr Lucy Whalley
I am a computational scientist with expertise in research software engineering and high performance computing. In my previous role as an Associate Professor in Physics at Northumbria University I led a research programme connecting atomic-scale processes with the performance of energy materials, alongside co-leading the Materials Chemistry Consortium (EPSRC, EP/X035859/1), the SCALE-UP network (UKRI) and Sonic Intangibles (UKRI, MR/Z506448/1). I am now looking for new employment opportunities in technology and computing.
I am a fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, an Associate Editor at the Journal of Open Source Software and chair of the UK national supercomputer Archer2 User Advisory Group. I am interested in how we can improve research practice in the computational sciences, with a particular interest in how we can work in an open and interdisciplinary way. I publish my code on Github whenever possible, and I speak about my work to a variety of audiences.
I have taught a range of subjects including introductory programming, computational physics and quantum mechanics, and I co-organise the annual Rising Stars workshop to support under-represented groups in Materials Science. I am also a mum to 1,2,3,4,5 6 year old Robin, who I am training to be a world class Hacker.
