Summary
Steve Todman is a Development Engineer with a Mathematical Physics degree and over 25 years of hands-on experience building specialised reservoir simulation software, notably as principal developer of the thermal and chemical simulator REVEAL. His career spans experimental and software development for fast reactor safety, groundwater flow modelling for radioactive waste disposal, and deep expertise in thermal, chemical, geomechanics and well optimisation subsurface physics. Based in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, he currently contributes to Reveal one day a week while effectively balancing semi-retirement and ongoing technical engagement. Colleagues rely on him for translating complex physics into robust, production-grade simulation code and for long-term stewardship of legacy scientific software. He combines academic rigour with practical engineering discipline, and still enjoys tinkering with code and models in his spare time.
