👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmanda Matthes is an engineer and researcher with nine years' experience applying firmware and software to high-impact scientific and welfare problems, currently leading animal welfare technology at Amodo Design. With a PhD in Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems from Oxford and a background in physics and computer science, she scopes and prototypes engineering projects aimed at reducing suffering in farmed animals and improving pandemic preparedness. Her work blends hands-on development—from embedded firmware to Python automation developed at CERN—with rigorous academic training and teaching experience. Based in Sheffield, she pairs curiosity-driven research (“trying to learn about the world and make it better”) with practical delivery, often identifying overlooked intervention points where technology can yield outsized welfare gains.
