Autorenporträt

Anthony J.G. Hey is now Honorary Senior Data Scientist at the UK's National Laboratory at Harwell. He began his career with a doctorate in particle physics from the University of Oxford. After a career in particle physics that included a professorship at the University of Southampton and research positions at Caltech, MIT and CERN, he moved to Computer Science and founded a parallel computing research group. The group were one of the pioneers of distributed memory message-passing computers and helped establish the 'MPI' message passing standard. After leaving Southampton in 2001 he was director of the UK's 'eScience' initiative before becoming a Vice-President in Microsoft Research. He returned to the UK in 2015 as Chief Data Scientist at the U.K.'s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. He then founded a new 'Scientific Machine Learning' group to apply AI technologies to the 'Big Scientific Data' generated by the Diamond Synchrotron, the ISIS neutron source, and the Central Laser Facility that are located on the Harwell campus. He is the author of over 100 scientific papers on physics and computing and editor of 'The Feynman Lectures on Computation'.
