Dr Robert E. Blackwell
Postdoctoral researcher, software developer and consultant.
Introduction
Having recently completed a PhD at the British Antarctic Survey, and after a varied career in software development, I'm looking for my next challenge. My skills include Julia, Python, data science, geospatial, remote sensing and machine learning. My background is in software development and consultancy. Colleagues have described me as "somebody who can see the forest from the trees". Please contact me if you think I can help you.
