Conduct research to improve fire and blast resistance of precast concrete structures through testing, numerical modelling, performance-based fire design, and reporting. Collaborate across disciplines to develop and validate resilient materials, joints, and structural systems and ensure compliance with safety standards.

Develop autonomous navigation, planning, and separation-assurance algorithms for multirotor operations around vessels. Integrate prediction, decision-making, control, and Vessel Protected Volume models in simulation frameworks; design optimisation and ML methods for conflict detection, collision avoidance, and capacity estimation; run simulation experiments, validation studies, and work with students and industry partners to support integration, testing, and dissemination.

Perform radar data processing, quality control, and derive rainfall rates; research radar reflectivity–rainfall relationships; integrate radar into data assimilation systems; write reports and publications; perform related administrative and fieldwork tasks.

Conduct interdisciplinary research on AI/LLM supply-chain risk, model LLM reliability and systemic risk propagation, and develop actuarial frameworks to translate AI vulnerabilities into insurance-relevant metrics. Design, implement, and validate quantitative models and simulations, publish findings, present at conferences, and support grant proposals and industry collaboration.

Support qualitative research projects: design, set up and manage small projects; check and interpret qualitative data; draft proposals, reports and presentations; moderate basic groups; liaise with clients; monitor budgets; and develop research skills under supervision.

Provide research administration and centre-level operational support: manage grant and project records, process claims and invoicing, operate grant management systems, handle facility workflows, procurement, reimbursements, events, publicity, and general office administration.

Lead and conduct experimental research to develop and characterise solid-state quantum sensors (e.g., color centres in diamond). Design and set up laboratory instrumentation, develop experimental protocols, lead sub-projects, document experiments, mentor lab staff and students, maintain lab operations, and support publications, proposals, and reporting.

Lead marketing initiatives at Whetstone Research, create digital content, manage contributors, and prioritize strategies in blockchain and crypto.

Conduct research and technical evaluations of AI models (especially generative AI), build feasibility studies and proofs-of-concept, mentor and up-skill colleagues, participate in communities of practice, and keep current with AI research to de-risk deployments and advance company AI capabilities.

Lead long-horizon R&D to define future decision intelligence: explore reasoning architectures, prototype and formalize system primitives, evaluate new signal classes, and translate research into reusable components aligned to strategic product direction.

Build and maintain experimental decision-system prototypes, evaluation tooling, simulation environments, and research infrastructure to enable rapid iteration and validation of research concepts in real-world constraints.

Apply formal decision theory and structured reasoning to enterprise problems: design decision frameworks, model uncertainty and tradeoffs, test decision architectures, run experiments, and translate research into system-ready primitives collaborating with engineering and product teams.

The role involves researching and designing generative AI models, publishing research, mentoring interns, and collaborating with teams and external researchers.
