Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrances Hutchings is a Research Software Engineer at Newcastle University with nine years’ experience bridging computational neuroscience and research-grade software development. Trained in neuroinformatics (MSc) and with a PhD focused on simulations of brain network interventions, she has specialised in modelling epilepsy and optimising brain stimulation and surgical strategies. In her current role she builds software and data-science solutions that support interdisciplinary projects across the sciences, medicine and the humanities, turning complex research questions into reproducible code and pipelines. Colleagues value her ability to translate domain research into practical tools for experiment design and analysis, and her work sits at the intersection of modelling, data engineering and applied neuroscience. An essentially research-first engineer, she brings both academic rigour and production-minded pragmatism to collaborative projects.
