Diego Alonso Álvarez is a physicist with 13 years of research experience in academia, including a PhD in semiconductor nanostructures and postdoctoral research on novel solar energy concepts and solar cells. He has learnt first-hand the value and difficulties of developing good software while doing research: his work has consistently involved software development for simulation, laboratory instrument control and outreach. Diego is a Software Sustainability Institute Fellow and member of the Society of Research Software Engineering, and is enthusiastic about promoting good coding practices among other researchers. He joined the Research Software Engineering team at Imperial College London in November 2018 and has contributed to the StrainMap and POWBAL projects, amongst others.
Mark Turner leads the Research Software Engineering team in the Digital Institute of the Newcastle University. The team focuses on delivering software engineering expertise for research projects across the university. He graduated with a BSc in Computing from Northumbria University in 2008 followed by an MSc from Newcastle University in 2012. In 2016 he was elected as a trustee for the UK Research Software Engineering Association, contributing to the transformation of the association into a registered charity in 2018.
