Career
Georgie started as an Research Software Engineer (RSE) at the University of Bath in May 2019 where she worked with the Tobacco Control Research Group in the Department of Health on the Stopping Tobacco Organisations and Products (STOP) project. During this time, she developed software solutions for the automation of the collection and analysis of data from publicly available sources, such as web scraping and social media monitoring and developed new data analysis techniques for the team.
In September 2022, Georgie moved over to Mechanical Engineering, working as an RSE on C-THRU: Carbon clarity in the global petrochemical supply chain project, where she worked on converting inconsistently formatted petrochemical data into Linked Data using the Resource Description Framework and the Physical Resources Observatory (PRObs) ontology to evaluate consistency and improve usability.
From June 2023, Georgie moved into a central RSE role supporting researchers from all disciplines with software queries, HPC onboarding, training and consultancy, before joining the central RSE facility in October 2025.
Education
Georgie completed her PhD at the University of Bath in 2019, her project focussed on developing software to model the formation of space-charge regions at grain boundaries in solid electrolyte battery materials to calculate the effect on conductivity. Prior to this Georgie completed her BSc in Chemistry at the University of Plymouth in 2015.
