Paul Hathaway is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years at Diamond Light Source and a long career building control, data acquisition and experiment workflow systems for X-ray and neutron diffraction beamlines. He combines hands-on software engineering with systems integration and motion-control expertise, translating complex scientific and electrical requirements into reliable client-server and instrumentation software. A student of Systems Engineering and holder of an MIT xPRO certificate, he advocates Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and applies systems modelling and process improvement to make experiments more reproducible and maintainable. His background spans electrical engineering, physics and team leadership roles at ANSTO, giving him rare cross-disciplinary insight from hardware commissioning to UX and database tooling. Colleagues rely on him for critical-thinking-driven solutions that reduce operational friction in high-stakes scientific facilities.
