Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke Roantree is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years' experience blending theoretical physics and software engineering, currently delivering data-driven insights at the Office for National Statistics. He holds a PhD in Theoretical & Mathematical Physics and an MSci in Mathematics from Queen's University Belfast, where he developed and optimised large-scale Fortran HPC codes (RMT) using hybrid MPI/OpenMP and built Python tooling for analysis and visualization. Luke brings strong production engineering practices—CI, unit testing, Docker, Git, Linux—and a track record of turning complex numerical models into maintainable, high-performance pipelines. His background spans research, applied mathematics teaching, freelance embedded and desktop software projects, and DevOps internships, giving him rare end-to-end fluency from low-level performance tuning to data productisation. Notably, he has experience publishing extensions to attosecond spectroscopy techniques (RABBITT) while shipping software utilities for continuous-variable quantum state analysis. He combines rigorous scientific thinking with pragmatic engineering to solve hard computational problems at scale.
