 So, I have a background in speech technology. I did my PhD in automatic speech recognition in Nijmegen in the Netherlands before coming to Edinburgh as a research fellow. I've done work as a research fellow for many years and slowly I've moved to more research management kind of positions and in the last 18 months I've been working with Agalos on an EU project in privacy and security called Panoramics. And in working with Agalos that's how I became interested in IOHK and how I was introduced to IOHK. In my role as senior research manager at IOHK I'll be supporting senior management in managing the different research streams at IOHK. I'll be looking at the different processes that are in place and hoping to improve them and making it all more efficient. So IOHK works with different universities, so you've got the Blockchain Technology Lab here in Edinburgh and you have people in Athens and only last week I was in Tokyo and I had the opportunity to meet with the research fellows, Bernardo and Mario at Tokyo Tech and was able to talk to them about some of the challenges and hurdles that you have when you're a distributed company like this and you have all these time zones to work with and I'll be looking at ways to make it as smooth as possible for them that it works for them to talk to us here in Edinburgh and with the people who work in Athens to make that as smooth as possible. So with the way IOHK has grown a lot in the last year there's a lot more management that's needed to ensure that the different projects stick to the time frames they need stick to and it's important and exciting to try to get people to work together and facilitate the collaboration between researchers and developers because they talk different language and sometimes need a bit of help in ensuring that their communication is more efficient and you know works that they're actually talking to each other so I hope to contribute to that and make life better for everybody who's working here at IOHK.
