High-performance computing and scientific software for large-scale simulation - building the numerical methods and coupled Earth-system models behind next-generation weather and climate prediction.
I am a Computational Scientist and Research Software Engineer at the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System at Princeton University and in the Weather and Climate Division at NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). I work at the intersection of high-performance computing and scientific software engineering, designing scalable parallel algorithms and building, optimizing, and maintaining production simulation codes that run on large HPC systems.
I apply that work to numerical methods and coupled Earth-system models for high-resolution weather and climate simulation. My work centers on GFDL’s FV3 dynamical core and the SHiELD modeling framework, where I develop scalable capabilities for coupled atmosphere-ocean-land simulation on modern HPC architectures.
Before joining Princeton and GFDL in 2020, I began working in computational fluid dynamics during my M.Sc. at INSA Lyon with the turbomachinery team, earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of São Paulo on multiscale multiphase flows, and held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo studying heated particle-laden turbulence. That trajectory - from classical CFD and multiphase flow, to numerical methods and dynamical cores, to coupled Earth-system modeling - shapes how I approach model development today.
