Case Study 1: Computational Policy Analysis at Scale
Challenge: Understanding implementation patterns across UK universities' Technician Commitment action plans
Approach: Developed NLP pipeline using Google Gemini API to classify and analyse 3,558 action items from 104 institutions across 26 thematic categories
Outcome: Published manuscript demonstrating systematic evaluation of sector-wide policy adoption; methodology applicable to research strategy evaluation
Publication: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/8tmn5_v1
Case Study 2: Spatial Biology Data FAIRification
Challenge: Spatial omics data lacks standardisation, hindering reuse and cross-platform analysis
Approach: Co-founded IO-FAST initiative; led Hackathon projects and Workshops on the FAIR treatment of spatial biology data
Outcome: Collaboration framework spanning EMBL-EBI, Galaxy, and spatial biology community; active work towards data sharing infrastructure
Links: IO-FAST LinkedIn and Zulip community
Case Study 3: Single Cell & Spatial Transcriptomics Platform
Challenge: Establish multi-technology omics platform for neurodegenerative disease research
Approach: Founded facility spanning 10x Genomics, Visium, Xenium, high-throughput single-cell proteomics
Outcome: Operating facility supporting 50+ research groups; integrated data workflows from wet-lab through computational analysis
Case Study 4: Technical Staff Authorship Guidance
Challenge: Technical staff systematically under-recognised in academic publications
Approach: Led cross-faculty working group developing evidence-based authorship attribution framework for UK higher education
Outcome: UCL-adopted guidance informing sector-wide practice; cited in institutional policy development
