Research
Overview
Research Interests
My focus is on software sustainability: the capacity of software to endure. The vast majority of research is reliant on software, so it is vital that the software is trust-worthy, maintainable, and performs well.
Projects
- I am a maintainer of two world-class plasma software packages, BOUT++ and GS2, and have made contributions to many other codes and libraries.
- My Fellowship is about transforming the culture within plasma science in the UK towards embracing open research, software, and data, and a more solid basis of sustainable software.
