About Me

I’m a Logician turned Web Developer turned Research Software Engineer, working in multiple programming languages including R, C++, Python, and Javascript.

Before becoming a professional programmer, I did my PhD in Manchester under the supervision of Jeff Paris, and my thesis, “Reasoning by Analogy in Inductive Logic” can be found online.

I build software to facilitate the development and dissemination of research. I spent 6 years at Imperial College London in the MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis and Modelling, as part of RESIDE, the Research Software for Infectious Disease Epidemiology group. I am currently based at the London School for Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases, developing tools to make analysis of serological data more accessible.

Outside of tech, I’m also interested in philosophy, statistics, politics, gender, effective altruism, & lots of other things! My Substack can be found at: https://writing.alexandra-hill.com/
