Our team

I completed the MSc in HPC at EPCC in 2024, after which I joined EPCC as an Applications Developer. Prior to the MSc, I completed a BSc in Computer Science at the University of Oregon in the US.

Kathleen joined EPCC and the Software Sustainability Institute in February 2023 as Project Officer. Her previous role was in the Edinburgh Research Office Post Award Team where she worked for 4 years as a Research Grants Administrator. Kathleen gained a BSc Majoring in Accountancy from the University of Paisley in 1997 and her career in finance covers public, private and voluntary sectors.

I joined EPCC in September 2006 after I graduated with an MSc in High Performance Computing from the University of Edinburgh. I have worked on a variety of projects and my main interests include parallel programming, applications enabling and performance optimisation, etc.

Kyro is the SSI Events Manager, based at EPCC in Edinburgh. She has experience in leading nationwide knowledge sharing programmes and fostering meaningful stakeholder relationships. Her passion for impactful collaboration and innovative solutions drives her work at SSI.

Kyro is also a Rising Leader Fellow at the Aspen Institute UK, where she collaborates with other emerging leaders to address social and environmental challenges.

Kyro holds a BCom degree, majoring in Management and Economics, from Rhodes University in South Africa.

David graduated with a degree in Physics from Imperial College London in 1987, and gained his PhD in Computational Theoretical Physics from Glasgow University in 1990. He spent the next four and a half years doing research in Lattice Field Theory at Edinburgh University before joining EPCC in 1995.

I joined EPCC in December 2015 after completing a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Almeria (Spain).

I am a principal software and data architect who joined EPCC in 2003. I provide the technical lead for software development or data analysis projects for both academic and commercial clients.

I joined EPCC in November 2023 as an Applications Developer after completing my MSc in HPC with Data Science at the University of Edinburgh. I was also a part of the winning ISC Student Cluster Competition team, TeamEPCC 2023. To continue my interests in HPC developed through the MSc and the competition, I joined EPCC, where I'm involved in various industry and research work. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and playing MOBA games.

My research spans high performance computing, data and storage, memory technologies, and application optimisation, helping to ensure large scale computing is efficiently and effectively used. Current and past application domains include computational fluid dynamics, plasma physics, nuclear fusion, molecular dynamics, and discrete element modelling. I'm currently the Director of Research for EPCC, and the Co-Director of the MSc in Vision with HPC.

I joined EPCC in 2001. My current role is Principal Architect. I am involved in research software development, data engineering and teaching on our MSc in High Performance Computing.

I joined EPCC as an Applications Consultant in November 2020. I graduated from St. Andrews with a BSc (Hons) in Computational Science, followed by an MSc in Strategic Information Systems from the University of Strathclyde.

Over 15 years of experience in comprehensive HPC services, with expertise in both on-premises and cloud-based HPC clusters, including solution design, implementation, and support.

I work in the applications group here at EPCC, mainly on ARCHER and PRACE. I started working here at EPCC in November 2001 having followed the well-trodden path from particle-physics (theory) to EPCC.

Nick manages and develops systems as part of EIDF, primarily the Virtual Desktop  and Cerebras services. Nick chairs EPCC's computing committee and both convenes, and is a member of several, College and University Committees. 

Nick completed a PhD at the University of Edinburgh in statistical inference for network tomography and then worked for Agilent Labs researching near real-time network statistical analysis methods. He joined EPCC in 2011 and worked on HPC systems and research projects relating to energy-efficient computing before joining the EIDF team in 2021.

In his spare time, Nick volunteers at various preserved railways in Scotland, mostly breaking (and fixing) signalling and telegraph equipment.
