Mark A. Girolami (born 1963) is a British civil engineer, statistician and data engineer.^[1] He has held the Sir Kirby Laing Professorship of Civil Engineering in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge since 2019.^[2] He has been the chief scientist of the Alan Turing Institute since 2021.^[3] He is a Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge,^[4] and winner of a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award.^[5] Girolami is a founding editor of the journal Data-Centric Engineering,^{[6] [7]} and also served as the program director for data-centric engineering at Turing.^[8]

Education

Girolami studied at the University of Glasgow and spent ten years working for IBM as an engineer from 1985 to 1994. After this he undertook, on a part-time basis, a PhD in statistical signal processing whilst working at the University of Paisley.^[9]

Career and research

After his PhD, Girolami held senior positions at the University of Glasgow, and University College London.^[10]

Before joining the University of Cambridge, Girolami worked at Imperial College London.
