Top SchoolBryan Lawrence is a Professor of Weather and Climate Computing with over 30 years in atmospheric science and 11 years of focused experience bridging climate modelling, hydrology and large-scale computing. Based at the University of Reading and formerly director of major national facilities including the JASMIN supercomputer and the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis, he combines domain expertise in earth system models with practical leadership of HPC and cloud infrastructures. His work spans data science, digital curation and metadata, and he is known for interrogating the philosophy and practice of simulation across the sciences. Bryan’s background in atmospheric physics (PhD) and long record in both academic and national-centre roles gives him a rare blend of theoretical rigor and operational delivery for reproducible, large-scale climate research. An understated thread through his career is a commitment to making complex model and data workflows discoverable and reusable for diverse research communities.
