Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAdam O'Brien is a software engineer and PhD-trained CFD developer based in Mountain View with 11 years of experience building high-performance simulation software. He specializes in multiphase flows, immersed boundary methods, computational combustion and thermoacoustics, with deep expertise in numerical methods for both compressible and incompressible regimes. Equally fluent in shared- and distributed-memory HPC, he turns cutting-edge research into scalable, production-ready code. Adam’s background spans a B.Eng. from Carleton and an M.Sc./PhD from the University of Toronto, and he often codes CFD projects for fun—blending rigorous theory with practical implementation. Notably, his work emphasizes complex-geometry handling and performance optimization that make large-scale multiphase simulations tractable.
