Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDan Negrut is the Bernard A. and Frances M. Weideman Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and technical lead of the Simulation Based Engineering Lab, focusing on high-performance multiphysics and multibody dynamics for robotics and autonomous vehicle simulation. He brings an uncommon blend of academic research and hands-on engineering across software and hardware aspects of HPC, sensor simulation, and GPU-accelerated modeling. As an active contributor to the projectchrono/chrono C++ library, he works on core functionality, GPU adaptations and documentation refinement to make large-scale simulation codebases more robust and usable. Previously director of an applied computing center and with industry product-development experience, he couples rigorous mechanical-engineering training with practical delivery of simulation systems.
