Dr. Jeyan Thiyagalingam BScEng(Hons), PhD (Imperial), DIC, FBCS, FHEA, SMIEEE, MIET

Head of the Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) Group


Prior to joining STFC-RAL,  I was a faculty in the school of Electrical Engineering and​ Electronics and Computer Sciences at the University of Liverpool. Prior to that, I was based at MathWorks; and at the University of Oxford both as a post-doctoral researcher and later as a James Martin Fellow focusing on high performance computing, and Big data processing. I am also a member of the HiPEAC Network. I have a very strong background in high performance computing, scientific data processing algorithms, signal processing and machine learning. ​ I am also a Turing Fellow.​
