BIO

I usually describe myself as a particle physicist that knew too much computers. I was born in France where I studied up to the PhD level. I did my PhD at the university of Adelaide in South Australia. I went onto two postdoctoral positions before taking a position a supercomputing consultant at the university of Canterbury and being one of original NeSI (https://nesi.org.nz) staff.
I am currently serving as an eResearch consultant as part of Digital Services. It is my mission to help researchers with their digital problems and to champion their interest to the wider Digital Services unit.
