Dr Paul M. Slavin

Senior Research Software Engineer
Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science & Engineering

Overview

I work as a Senior Research Software Engineer in the eScience Lab research group, where I'm the technical lead on the ClimateAdapt4EOSC project, contribute to the CDIF4EOSC project, and develop a range of software and systems in support of these efforts.

Background

I previously worked as a Scientific Software Developer in the Environmental Engineering group in a role centred on the application of novel techniques from the field of multidimensional constrained optimisation to problems of resource allocation in the field of energy, water, and integrated systems; particularly Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms.

I also worked concurrently as Senior Software Developer for Computational Modelling at Nexsys Analytics, a University of Manchester spinout company which provides consultancy services to UK and international clients.

Before this I worked as a Post Doctoral Researcher in the School of Computer Science participating in a range of projects relating to numerical methods and high-performance computing, including work to address scalability issues in the Met Office's Unified Model and subsequently projects within the Met Office's Next-Generation Modelling Systems Programme. I've also been involved in projects to develop verification and interoperability tools for atmospheric modelling with a variety of institutions including CNRS, DKRZ, EPFL, NOAA and STFC Rutherford Appleton.
