Top SchoolAdam Goga is a computational physicist and Ph.D. candidate at UC Davis with nine years of experience building research-grade software and deploying HPC workflows for distributed simulations and spectral analysis. As a Graduate Student TA in the Zimanyi group he combines hands-on systems work—MPI, Bash, Linux clusters—with grant-writing and regular research presentations, and has led dozens of discussion sections for diverse STEM students. His prior research at LASP produced an open-source pipeline for analyzing thousands of stellar spectra, demonstrating an ability to turn noisy observational data into reusable tools. Earlier in his career he shipped backend systems for live-op games and led web-based educational projects, showing a rare blend of production engineering, pedagogy, and scientific computing. Based in Davis, CA, he pairs rigorous mathematical training with practical software craftsmanship to make complex physics workflows reproducible and scalable.
