  1. About Us
Chief Technical Officer

Dr Christopher Sampson

Dr Chris Sampson co-founded Fathom in 2013 whilst undertaking his PhD in Physical Geography at the University of Bristol. His academic studies focused on developing Catastrophe models for the (re)insurance market and it was through this work that the need for better flood risk analytics at the global scale was identified, ultimately leading to the formation of Fathom. 

Chris now leads the technical development and strategy for Fathom and has guided the development of our modelling framework, becoming known as a leading expert in the field of large-scale flood models through his growing record of academic publications.
