About

I lead the data team at Kraken Technologies Japan. We are on a mission to make green energy cheaper, which will allow Japan to transition to it faster.

Kraken Technologies sells cloud-native software which enables utility companies to modernize their infrastructure and react to dynamically changing energy demands.

As part of the Octopus Energy Group, we supply electricity to homes and business across Japan via the Octopus Energy brand.

In my spare time I enjoy contributing to open source Python projects, such as radioactivedecay and harlequin-databricks.

Previously I was a scientist in the Centre for Computational Science & e-Systems, JAEA (2014-2022), applying computer modelling for health physics and environmental science research.

Before that I worked for Cavendish Nuclear in the UK, where I performed engineering assessments to facilitate the decommissioning of nuclear sites (2012-14).

Between 2010 and 2011, I was a JSPS Short Term Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Tokyo researching the glass transition.

My PhD was in computational physics from the University of Bristol (thesis title: ‘A Structural Approach to Glassy Systems’ - PDF). My Masters degree was in complexity sciences from the University of Bristol, and undergraduate degree was in mathematics and physics from the University of Warwick.
