Rob Chambers

Physics Graduate
Nottingham

Summary

A 1st-Class MPhys, Physics with Theoretical Physics Graduate proficient in independent problem solving, and the communication of complex, technical topics to non-technical audiences. Adept at handling increased workloads; always willing to go the extra mile to make sure a job is completed to standard and on schedule.

A culmination of aptitude for learning about complicated ideas and new technologies, and a feeling of responsibility to help others resulted in a first class Masters project: The Gamification of Proton Beam Therapy. Combining medical physics with reinforcement learning, this project was the first in a series of masters projects hoping to improve the speed and quality of treatment planning for proton beam therapy cancer treatment.

Recently worked with an environmental consulting start up, honing skills in software development, and personable yet professional communication. Inspired colleagues to “[want] to be more competent and diligent”, a sentiment to be brought forward to all future places of work.

Work History

Consultant

Air Quality Solutions
Nottingham
11.2023 - 08.2024

My most recent work was with Air Quality Solutions: a tech-empowered environmental consultancy that specialises in providing air quality assessments for planning permission applications.

As part of a small-team start up, my responsibilities spanned many facets of the business: product (software) development, writing internal and external business documents, marketing and sales.

Principally, my job was software development for the purpose of process automation. I created solutions and tools that reduced the workload of consultants from tens of hours per assessment, to a matter of minutes. An example of such is automated report generation: using a combination of traditional programming and generative AI to reduce the reporting process from ~4 hours to ~15 seconds (plus time for review). All the necessary learning for this role was self-directed and all solutions were researched, planned and executed by myself.

As the member of the team with the strongest written English, I assumed responsibility for writing and editing many formal documents on behalf of the business. Both internal policy and strategy documents, as well as proposals for potential business collaborations/contracts. Of the business proposals that were sent to potential clients that I wrote, all resulted in a successful meeting booked for further discussion.

I also created Company LinkedIn page designed to increase recognition and brand awareness. Between March and July, I helped grow the company page to 200+ followers which when compared to well-established companies in this micro niche, is impressive given the timescale.
