Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonny Williams is a Research Software Engineer with a decade of experience applying big-data analytics and scientific software to carbon, climate and atmospheric questions across academia, government and consulting. He has developed and supported climate and earth-system modelling tools at organisations including the Met Office Hadley Centre, NIWA and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, and has translated climate model outputs into practical impact assessments such as aviation take-off performance under future climates. Trained in physics (MSci Imperial) with a PhD blending physics, computing and electrochemistry, he brings a rare mix of deep scientific understanding and production-grade software development. Comfortable moving between research code and user-facing support, he often sits at the intersection of model development, national-scale deployment and stakeholder-driven analysis. Based in Reading, UK, he combines long-term modelling experience with consultancy instincts for turning complex environmental data into actionable insights.
