Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Harrison is an environmental modeller and research software engineer at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology with 11 years’ experience applying a physics-trained, code-first approach to geospatial fate and exposure models for pollutants such as micro-/nanoplastics, pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials and metals. With a PhD in physics and prior quantum nanotechnology research, he blends rigorous physical modelling with sustainable software practices to make complex model outputs actionable for regulators and industry. A 2022 Software Sustainability Institute Fellow and member of CEEDS and NERC’s Constructing a Digital Environment network, he champions open source tools and modern digital infrastructure for reproducible environmental science. Beyond modelling, he brings practical field insight—from outdoor leadership to time spent as an instructor—that informs realistic scenario design and stakeholder engagement.
