Andrew Walkingshaw leads sales, product marketing and business development operations for Inkling Software.

In the past, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Cambridge’s Chemical Laboratory. He, alongside Dan Wilson, designed markup languages and workflows to automate the computational prediction of materials properties. Whilst there, he was an invited delegate to an European Science Foundation working group on computational chemistry workflows, to Science Foo Camp, and to the 2008 Bloomsbury Conference on e-Publishing and e-Publications.

He received his PhD in 2007 from the University of Cambridge for work on novel computational models of the diffusion behaviour of silicate glasses. Outside of science, he has an active interest in design, and was an invited speaker at Interesting 2008; he also writes and produces electronic music.
