I'm Ed Harris, a data scientist with over 20 years of experience in experimental design, data analysis, research, and consulting across academia and industry, with a focus on ecology and environmental impact. As Director of the Agriculture Data Science Research Centre and a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society, I lead research and consultancy projects that apply advanced data analytics and AI to real-world challenges, particularly in agri-tech, ecology, and environmental impact. I also manage outreach and knowledge exchange between researchers, industry, and government, and support capacity building among research staff and postgraduate students. As Course Leader for the MSc in Data Science for Artificial Intelligence and the BSc in Applied Data Science, I am passionate about teaching and committed to helping students learn how to extract meaningful insights from data. I love a messy dataset and making complex data concepts accessible to everyone. To learn more, check out my GitHub or follow me on Twitter/X.
