Talk to me about your thoughts on how to best study wild animals and their welfare at scale! 

I live in Sheffield where I work as an engineer on cool stuff to improve the world. Most of my time has been on a pandemic preparedness project, but recently started some shrimp welfare work that I am excited about.

I recently restarted EA Sheffield as a city group. Come along to our next social if you're in the area! I organised EA North 2025 and might make it an annual thing. 

I have a PhD in computer science and an undergrad degree in physics. For my PhD thesis I co-developed an open source, low-power, low-cost location data logger to help biologists study wild animals.
