Henry Lambert is a director and scientific software engineer with 15 years’ experience building high-performance computational tools and bespoke applications for materials science and engineering. He designs and implements frameworks in Fortran, C++/CUDA and Python to compute electronic properties such as semiconductor band gaps and to support materials databases used for steel strength and hydrogen embrittlement studies. His background spans academic research at Oxford and King’s College London—where he developed and maintained Sternheimer-GW code and ran atomic-scale fracture simulations—through to running his own consultancy, Comhlan Ltd., delivering tailored software to industry. He also builds web services with Python/Flask and lightweight SQLite backends, and contributes to open-source web tooling such as the IHP framework, improving code generation and IDE data handling. Currently based in Limerick, Ireland, he is exploring Haskell for domain-specific applications, reflecting a pragmatic curiosity for applying new languages to scientific problems.
