Hello,

I’m Jack Atkinson, a scientist, archer, and researcher.

I am currently a senior research software engineer in the Institute of Computing for Climate Science at the University of Cambridge. Prior to this I studied in the Engineering Department at Cambridge University investigating thermals and tropical cyclones, in the Geography Department modelling volcanic plumes, and as a Radiation Belt Scientist at the British Antarctic Survey. My main interests are in geophysical fluid mechanics, specifically of the atmosphere, ocean, and space, but I keep an open mind. To find out more about my work please see my research page .

Full details of my work and abilities can be viewed on my curriculum vitae .

In my spare time I enjoy doing archery, information about which can also be found on this site, and in which I have an ‘academic’ interest in the underlying mathematics and physics. As a volunteer I worked on the Archery GB handicap and classification systems. As part of this work I maintain the archeryutils software library and the archerycalculator.co.uk website to provide this data to the archery community.
