About Me

Thomas Zwagerman
My name is Thomas Zwagerman. I’m a Research Software Engineer at the British Antarctic Survey, within the Digital Innovation Team. We are a team of RSEs developing software infrastructure that supports the long term sustainable delivery of impacts from digital projects at BAS. I mostly work in R.
I have previously worked as an Environmental Data Scientist and as a Spatial Data Analyst at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
I have a BSc in Ecological & Environmental Sciences from the University of Edinburgh. I wrote my dissertation on vegetation change impact on arctic land-atmosphere interactions and snowmelt in the Arctic.
Research Interests:
- FAIR Data and Research Software
- Sensor to Publication Data Processing Pipelines
- Environmental Forecasting
- Digital Twins
- Low Power, Low Bandwith Sensor Networks
