PhD-qualified scientist and emerging tech programme leader, most recently at Google DeepMind where I developed the impact evaluation methodology for AlphaFold - now deployed across all DeepMind frontier AI models. I help AI labs, biotech companies, and research organisations turn complex science programmes into structured, measurable outcomes. What I deliver: - Research impact evaluation. Designing frameworks to identify, validate, and communicate how AI models and scientific tools drive real-world discovery. - Programme strategy and operational design. Building tracking infrastructure, operational cadences, and cross-team workflows for research-driven organisations. - AI for Science consulting. Advising on how frontier AI models (AlphaFold, LLMs, generative AI) are being adopted across life sciences research. - Stakeholder engagement strategy. Connecting researchers, leadership, and external partners around shared scientific goals. Recent work: - Google DeepMind: Built AlphaFold's research engagement function from scratch. Managed 120+ researcher partnerships across 6 continents, produced 39 impact case studies, and delivered research intelligence that informed a $2M bet in Google's AI for Science Fund allocation. - Consilience (my company): Building an AI-for-science research intelligence platform with Claude. A multi-stage LLM triage and quality scoring to identify frontier discoveries in real time. - Edify/Soluis: Director of Product & Programs for an immersive learning platform. Managed agile delivery (Jira SDLC setup), cloud infrastructure (AWS, edge), HPC compute budgets, and a $15M Digital Twin programme. - AI Safety: RLHF model evaluation as a chemistry domain expert — stress-testing LLMs for scientific accuracy, safety, and factual precision. Background: PhD Natural Product Chemistry (University of St Andrews), AstraZeneca Process R&D. 12+ years programme management across AI labs, edtech, education, and non-profit science organisations. I'm based in Edinburgh, available for remote work globally, and open to short-term or ongoing engagements. Skills & Specialities: - Research Impact Assessment - Programme Management - AI Consulting - Science Communication - Stakeholder Engagement - Project Management - Strategic Planning - Research Strategy - Life Sciences - AI & Machine Learning - Data Analysis - Technical Writing
