Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDarren Thompson is a software engineer and computational physicist with 7 years of focused experience in Synchrotron X-ray CT and phase-contrast imaging, now applying that domain expertise to defence software at AIM Defence. He has a rare blend of hands-on scientific computing and systems engineering developed through long stints at CSIRO and the Australian Synchrotron, where he built integrated HPC software and control systems for advanced imaging beamlines. Holding a PhD in Physics and a BComp(Hons) in Computer Science, Darren moves comfortably between low-level instrumentation control, imaging algorithms and production software delivery. His background includes consulting roles that required rapid translation of experimental requirements into robust software, and earlier career work on traffic modelling that sharpened his large-scale simulation and modelling skills. Based in Melbourne, he pairs deep technical knowledge with a practical track record of turning complex experimental workflows into maintainable, deployable systems.
