Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdrien Morison is a research software engineer based in Glasgow with 11 years of experience building performant, maintainable scientific software for geodynamics and mantle convection research. He holds a PhD in Geodynamics from ENS Lyon and has transitioned academic expertise into robust research software roles at the University of Exeter and now the University of Glasgow. Adrien’s work blends numerical methods development (including multigrid solvers and boundary-condition implementations) with practical software design, prioritizing extensibility and reproducibility. He has a track record of integrating research code into community tools and improving solver performance from internships at ETH Zurich to postdoctoral projects. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex geophysical problems into clean, maintainable code that accelerates scientific discovery. An often-overlooked strength is his consistent focus on easing future development—writing code that invites extension rather than one-off fixes.
