Geraint Palmer is a Welsh Medium Lecturer at Cardiff University in the School of Mathematics. He is a member of the operational research group where his research interests are in simulation and probabilistic modelling, in particular applying these to model public services such as healthcare systems. He uses open source software in all aspects of his reseach: he is a maintainer of Ciw an open source Python library for discrete event simulation, and was the OR Society's Doctoral Award in 2018. Geraint is also a fellow of the sustainable software institute and has presented at a number of international conferences on the subject of best practice of scientific computing, and regularly teaches programming and runs coding workshops for people of all ages.
