ABOUT ME
Computational physicist
Computational physicist
I am passionate about using computational techniques to solve problems and helping others to do the same. Contact me and we'll see how we can get your problem solved! I am a former academic with a background in Astrophysics, Geophysics, and science communication and have served as a computational physicist for The University of Western Australia and Woodside Energy. I regularly engage with both industry and academia in consulting and scientific software development roles.

During my PhD and postdoctoral work I wrote a number of scientific computing applications that use some of the advanced features of C++, like templated and classes, functions and inheritance. Using this experience I can help diagnose problems with and optimise your C and C++ algorithms.

During my postdoctoral job I wrote a CUDA-enabled application that streamed data through multiple GPUs for synthetic seismic wave propagation. My experience with CUDA has fallen behind lately as I am actively focussed on OpenCL as a more general purpose compute platform.

As a computational physicist I can help with mapping equations or ideas to code. As a physicist I can understand the maths and physical basis for an algorithm, and as a scientific computing expert I can suggest ways that the algorithm can be expressed in code.

I am keenly interested in this technology and have recently developed teaching courses in OpenCL as well as a general purpose compute framework to access OpenCL compute functionality from C, Fortran, and Python programs.

Toby was extremely helpful with my queries on Computational Physics. He was extremely polite and knowledgeable with the concept I wanted to discuss with him and guided me through the things I needed to understand for my doubts. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking help with coding in Computational Physics (or just any help in coding in general.)
