Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Lyon is a Senior Lecturer and machine learning specialist with 11+ years of experience bridging academia and industry, currently leading programmes and research in real-time ML, data stream processing and imbalanced learning at Liverpool John Moores University. He combines hands-on software engineering (C/C++, C#, Python, CUDA), big-data systems (Storm, Spark), GPU programming and containerised deployment with formal systems work—having helped design the signal processing chain and analytics pipeline for the Square Kilometre Array from requirements through prototyping. An elected Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and member of the BCS and HEA, he has led funded projects that applied ML to healthcare and delivered invited talks at top institutions including the Alan Turing Institute and Cambridge. A practised educator and mentor, he manages multiple degree pathways, supervises students to PhD level, and is repeatedly recognised by students for teaching excellence. Not obvious from titles: he brings industrial-scale performance engineering and procurement experience to academic research, enabling pragmatic, production-aware ML for large science collaborations.
