Stephen Nicholas Swatman
Hello there! My name is Stephen, and I am currently a scientific software developer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). I work on applying heterogeneous computing – GPGPUs in particular – to the reconstruction of particles in high-energy collisions. I apply various practical and theoretical performance engineering techniques and model in order to prepare the field of high-energy physics for the data challenges of the future.
Outside of work I like to cycle, play tabletop games of all kinds, take photographs, cook, and commit myself to amateur botany. I am also very interested in category theory, functional programming, type theory, and computational trinitarianism, although my knowledge of these subjects is not nearly as well developed as I would like it to be.
Please take a look around my website. Like any good academic, I have a blog that I never update, outdated contact details, and probably a few dead links here and there.
