Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Brown is a Scottish-based Postdoctoral Research Associate in mathematics at the University of Edinburgh with 13 years of experience bridging academic research and production infrastructure engineering. She holds a PhD in Mathematics from UC Davis and a BS in Mathematics and Physics from Georgetown, and her background spans computational physics, population genetics simulations, and FPGA prototyping at CERN. Before returning to academia she spent several years building and operating distributed storage and provisioning systems at Opower, automating server fleets with Puppet/Chef and developing Ruby tooling to reduce operational burden. Jennifer combines rigorous theoretical training with hands-on systems design, making her adept at translating complex models into scalable, reproducible computation pipelines. Colleagues describe her as equally comfortable writing C/C++ simulation code, crafting firmware for nanosecond-precision tests, or improving observability and monitoring for large services. An understated strength is her long habit of designing bespoke data-analysis tools that turn noisy experimental outputs into clear, actionable results.
