David Gwyther

Dr David Gwyther brings to the team over 8 years of experience in oceanography specialising in high performance computing simulations. David has directly applied these skills in multiple projects for the University of Tasmania. David holds a research fellow/lecturer position as an Antarctic Coastal Ocean Modeller. In this role, he designed, built, run and published large-scale physics-based models of the ocean using his theoretical and experimental physics background. This experience also includes management of multi-terabyte datasets from both modelling and observational research. He has performed field work in a senior scientist capacity, including mission planning, data gathering and coordination with remotely sensed (satellite) datasets. David has many years of experience with data analysis and interpretation, with a particular focus on synthesising research outcomes for communication to end-users.

He has experience working remotely and to deadlines. His ability to work successfully in a team is demonstrated by him being awarded a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship (2013-2014) and also by his extensive domestic and international collaborator network. He has high publication outputs as well as first-author and co-authorships in prestigious multidisciplinary journals.
