- technical management in product development - software solution design and architecture - responses on RFPs on platform components - setting up development-for-security practices - recruitment, team management

Implementation of MILCA and SNICA multivariate data analysis algorithms into analytical chemistry practice, co-supervising a PhD student

- full-cycle product development project management (including effort estimation, planning, task assignments) - requirements management with product owner and stakeholders - setting up end-to-end SDLC processes - research into innovative image processing and compression techniques - recruitment, budgeting, liaising with contractors

Development of software prototypes for a novel image compression codec, research into compression quality metrics: - design and implementation of DCT and wavelet-based compression schemes with scene-referred adaptive encodings/quantization and Huffman/arithmetic coders; - comparative analysis of compression performance/quality; - quantitative measures of compression quality derived from color discrimination data; - conducting experiments on human image perception;

Projects: - development of multivariate data analysis methods with applications in spectroscopy, software implementation, cluster simulations - proposing a new formation mechanism for Kuiper-belt binary asteroids, 4-body numerical cluster simulation, visualisations

- research into dynamical origin of irregular satellites of the giant planets (chaos-assisted capture), numerical Monte Carlo cluster simulations in the restricted 3-body problem, software implementations with analysis and visualisation tools - transition state theory approaches to planetary dynamics and atomic physics;

- developing new methods to compute time-resolved molecular spectra and build quantitative analytical techniques - software implementation, integration with legacy systems and simulations
