Summary
Edward Fauchon-Jones is a senior research software engineer with 11 years' experience building reliable data pipelines and HPC tooling for space science and numerical relativity. He has delivered mission-critical ground-segment software for ESA's Solar Orbiter MAG payload, contributed to NASA IMAP commissioning plans, and led compression and near-real-time processing work that improved science return and space-weather prediction. His background blends a PhD in Physics & Astronomy with an MMath in Mathematics, enabling him to bridge complex scientific requirements and pragmatic engineering at institutions such as Imperial College and the University of Oxford. Known for work on numerical-relativity benchmarking and HPC data redistribution prototypes, he brings deep systems-level thinking to high-throughput scientific workflows. Based in Sevenoaks, UK, he pairs operational excellence with a curious, cartographer-in-training spirit and a penchant for thoughtful, mission-focused tooling.
