Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Bradley is a Research Software Engineer at ECMWF with a decade of experience bridging computational physics and production research software. Currently finishing a PhD in Condensed Matter Theory at Imperial College London, he specialised in applying Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo methods to solid-state problems and taught scientific computing in Python to undergraduates. He combines deep numerical methods and high-performance scientific programming with practical engineering for weather and climate research workflows. Based in Reading and working across European research environments, he brings both academic rigor and production-focused software practices to collaborative modelling teams. An understated strength is his track record of translating complex quantum many-body techniques into scalable, maintainable code used beyond pure theory.
