RSE Careers and Roles: Louise Brown
Dr Louise Brown Biography:
Dr Louise Brown is a Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham. She currently holds an EPSRC Research Software Engineering (RSE) Fellowship on Software for Textile Modelling and Simulation. On completion of her PhD, Design of a Filament Winding Cell, she worked for several years in the Computer Science Department at Nottingham working on automated design tools for CAD systems for industrial embroidery machines. Partly due to her daughter’s medical condition she worked from home as a software engineer for thirteen years before returning to the Composites Research Group at Nottingham in 2009. She is responsible for development of TexGen (http://texgen.sourceforge.net ), open source software for modelling the geometry of textile structures. The software has an increasing user base worldwide with over 32,000 downloads since its initial release in 2006. She has implemented new functionality to include modelling of the complex 3D weaves being used increasingly by the aerospace industry and is involved in research to optimise more complex textile structures.
This event is organised by RSE Leeds, a network for Research Software Engineers at the University of Leeds. RSEs are people who develop software and/or support the use of computers and computer technologies for research purposes. They can work in a variety of job roles so if you think you may be one please join in: http://lists.leeds.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/rse-network
