Mathematician and engineer transitioning from applied research at universities and national labs to industry.
Having published in leading scientific journals on topics including space mission design and fusion energy, I am looking forward to working on the direct live implementation of a high-impact engineering project.
My work heavily involves numerical simulation, especially distributed computing on advanced supercomputers/clusters.
