Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJago Strong-wright is a Doctoral Candidate at the University of Cambridge with nine years of experience applying computational and mathematical modelling to ocean carbon, blue carbon systems, and climate questions. He develops and publishes Julia-based tools—most notably OceanBioME.jl—and is a frequent contributor to the high-profile Oceananigans.jl project, improving Lagrangian tracking, nonhydrostatic models, and performance-critical indexing. His work bridges research and production-grade scientific software, combining published field-relevant modelling (kelp growth and sequestration) with practical engineering such as weather-model tooling and parallel Monte Carlo simulations for trajectory analysis. Comfortable mentoring and leading teams, he also brings hands-on hardware and data-integration experience from drone-based signal-mapping and aerospace simulation projects.
