Work Experience
AUG 2012 – present GE Oil & Gas – Subsea Systems: Application Physicist; Oxford, United Kingdom
• Successfully optimized existing outdated numerical methods using MatLab scripting language and dramatically reduced the time taking by existing legacy code.
• Have successfully used statistical multivariate calculus to gain insight on hitherto unknown temperature effects in hardware located in Brazil in the UK.
• Successfully developed novel signal processing algorithm which drastically reduced time taken by existing legacy code by a factor of 10 and successfully implemented the technique for equipment deployed in the previously mentioned locations.
• Have extensive experience implementing advanced data miming and statistical techniques such as multivariate linear regression hypothesis functions, K-Means clustering.
• Consolidated company-wide hardware tests and generated statistical insight that enabled quantitative evaluation of hardware performance.
• Field tested high-precision instruments at various sites and on an offshore installation.
• Simultaneously process, coordinate and manage data from multiple offshore and onshore projects across the North Sea, Brazil and the UK.
