Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharlie Kirkwood is an earth scientist-turned-data scientist with nine years’ experience applying statistical and machine learning methods to environmental and commercial problems. After an EPSRC/Met Office-funded PhD in statistical science, he has led AI-driven research at the University of Exeter’s IDSAI, translating probabilistic modelling and geospatial expertise into interdisciplinary projects. His background ranges from geochemical mapping and hyperspectral analysis to customer behaviour modelling and NLP-driven marketing optimisation, giving him a rare blend of field geology and production-grade data science. He focuses on using AI to improve decision-making under uncertainty for natural‑world challenges, and is experienced in automating large-scale geospatial workflows and probabilistic forecasting. Colleagues value his ability to move between domain-specific theory and applied code, making complex uncertainty quantification accessible to diverse research partners.
