I’m a professor in Scientific Computing and High Performance Computing at Durham University where I work at the Department of Computer Science. I head the Scientific Computing research group and I serve as director of Durham University’s Institute for Data Science.
Via the top menu, you can navigate to sites about my research software and links to some projects I am involved with. You also find some posters and videos as well as supplemental information about some books I have published. Finally, there is a short CV and a brief description of my research philosophy.

- Thanks to Gokberk Kabacaoglu's initiative, we now finally have our book impact section up: https://scicomp.webspace.durham.ac.uk/scicomp-contributes-to-three-new-springer-publications/ One of the books originates from our module Parallel Scientific Computing in level 3, one from @miscada.bsky.social's professional skills module, and one from AI.
- We finally got our SIAM CSE wrap-up page up: https://scicomp.webspace.durham.ac.uk/news-announcements/ Not only staff, but also PhD and @miscada.bsky.social students!
- Our Gregynog Numerical Relativity 2025 workshop is now announced and open for registration: https://sites.google.com/view/nrgregynog/
- Great group "day out" discussion on the pros and cons of wfh vs in-office wrt our code development. Two questions remain: (a) will we be able to implement our ideas and (b) where can we summarise and find best practices from other groups in scientific computing?
- Looking forward to participate in the Coimbra Group Climate Symposium today at @durham-university.bsky.social's new business school building at the water front. In line with that, my read of the day: arxiv.org/pdf/2503.17283 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.17283
