Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelicity Anderson is a PhD researcher at EPCC, University of Edinburgh, combining 12 years of research experience with hands-on software development to improve how collaborative research software is built and sustained. She develops data-driven "RSE Personas" to characterise contribution patterns on GitHub, aiming to help Research Software Engineers and project teams target skills and workflows more effectively. With a background in ecology and botany, she brings domain knowledge to bioinformatics work on the open-source RiboViz pipeline, using Python, R, Nextflow and git to add features, improve usability and measure protein synthesis from ribosome profiling data. Felicity is a certified Carpentries instructor who co-supervises students and delivers training to boost reproducible data and coding practices across research groups. Her blend of field ecology, database and GIS experience with reproducible software engineering gives her a practical, cross-disciplinary perspective that uncovers why developers make certain technical choices—and how to nudge them toward better ones.
