Streamba are a software startup in Glasgow which specialises in smart software solutions for logistics, with a current focus on the onshore and offshore components of the oil and gas energy supply chain. Their technology solutions currently have coverage of 75% of the energy supply chain of the North Sea. As Head of Data Science and Machine Learning, Andy has been working on ways to make these software solutions smart through the use of advanced data analytics and machine learning. Before joining Streamba in March 2017, Andy was a PhD student in Computational Physics at Imperial College London, where he used advanced numerical and computational methods to calculate the properties of materials for application in solar cells. In this talk he will touch on a number of topics including the transferability of some of his physics skills to the problems of the supply chain, and some of the tools and techniques required for studying these very complex systems.
