Senior🎓
Top SchoolIsaac Lenton is a Senior Technical Specialist and PhD candidate in computational and experimental physics with over a decade of experience applying optical micro-manipulation and optical tweezers techniques in research environments. He combines strong software and HPC skills—Matlab, C++, JavaScript, LaTeX—with hands-on experimental expertise developed across roles at The University of Queensland, IST Austria, and now The University of Manchester. As a former physics tutor and research assistant, he is adept at translating complex physical models into reproducible code and scalable simulations. His work bridges lab and computation, often optimizing data-heavy experiments for high-performance clusters, and he brings a pragmatic focus on reproducibility and tooling to postdoctoral-grade research.
