Senior🎓
Top SchoolBob Yantosca is a senior software engineer in Cambridge, MA, with more than 30 years of experience spanning programming, data analysis, and visualization, focused on atmospheric chemistry modeling. He leads GEOS-Chem development and user support, serves on the GEOS-Chem Steering Committee, and collaborates with NASA to integrate the model with Earth System Models. His technical toolkit blends Fortran, Python, C, and parallel computing (OpenMP, MPI), with deep expertise in self-describing data formats (netCDF, HDF5) and performance profiling. He co-authored GCPy and GAMAP for visualizing CTM output and has contributed substantial features and bug fixes to the GEOS-Chem science codebase as a backend developer. Beyond code, he designs automatic forecasting and hindcasting systems for aircraft field campaigns and provides documentation and technical support to researchers worldwide.
