Tim Rooker

Tim joined the Integrated Manufacturing Group as a Data Scientist in 2021, after completing an EngD in the AMRC's Industrial Doctorate Centre for Machining Science. His thesis - Assistive data science for multi-axis machine tool inspection - explored predictive modelling and analytics for automating and improving the user experience of NC-Checker, the flagship machine tool benchmarking software from the project sponsor, metrology software products ltd. 

Since joining the AMRC full-time, he has developed extensive experience in the research process for various applications involving data engineering, data science and general software engineering. His current research interests lie mainly in the development of workflows to improve data-centric project delivery, and the exploration of Lakehouse database models to synergise the data engineering and data science processes in manufacturing applications.
