Scientific computing / high-performance numerical software
I build production electromagnetic solvers used by engineers worldwide. 15+ years turning complex physics into fast, reliable software — from GPU-accelerated algorithms to commercial simulation tools shipping in products like Simcenter Feko.
About
I build the algorithms that make electromagnetic simulations fast enough to be useful. My work sits at the intersection of applied mathematics, physics, and high-performance computing.
Currently at Siemens Digital Industries Software, I develop GPU-accelerated electromagnetic solvers for Simcenter Feko — combining deep expertise in computational electromagnetics with modern AI-augmented development practices. Previously, I spent over a decade at Altair Engineering contributing to Feko's solver technology.
My research background spans biomedical microwave imaging at Dartmouth College and Polytechnic University of Turin, where I developed real-time imaging algorithms accelerated on multi-GPU systems for clinical applications including breast cancer detection and surgical guidance.
