Welcome! I'm William Haese-Hill
Research Software Engineer at the University of Glasgow
I completed a PhD in Mathematical Physics in 2015, before spending a number of years in industry; firstly as a mathematical/pharmocometric modeller in an oncology CRO, followed by several general software development roles across various sectors, before finally making my way back to academia.
Most of my programming knowledge was acquired "learning on the job", and refined through working on various personal projects. Over time, this has coalesced into a focus on building robust, maintainable research software.
In my current role, I work on research projects across the life sciences, as well as delivering teaching and training on software engineering best practices in research.
