R Dunphy is a postgraduate researcher and engineer with a decade of experience applying machine learning to biosensing problems, currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Strathclyde focused on hyperspectral imaging and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for bacterial identification. He combines rigorous MEng engineering training with a BMus background, blending analytical problem-solving and creative thinking evident from earlier work as a composer and violin tutor. His practical software skills include full‑stack contributions to notable open-source projects like Tridactyl, where he improved front-end command-line UX and tab-group functionality. Past placements at NPL and industry internships broaden his research-to-application perspective, and he brings a rare cross-disciplinary fluency in signal processing, instrumentation, and user-facing software.
