Deborah Bard
Group Lead for Data Science Engagement
My career spans research in particle physics, cosmology, machine learning and supercomputing. I lead the Data Science Engagement Group at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing center (NERSC), where we support experimental scientists who need supercomputing-scale computing resources to analyse their data. Originally from the UK, I obtained my PhD at Edinburgh University, and worked at Imperial College London and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory before joining NERSC. I've participated in the Adopt-a-Physicist program for many years, and being active in the wider community of physicists is very important to me.
