Summary
Aitor Iraola is a Senior Consultant and physicist with 9 years' experience specializing in numerical modelling, hydrogeological simulation, and ML-accelerated reactive transport. Based in Barcelona, he leads Amphos21’s Artificial Intelligence Taskforce and develops Python tooling (iML, PyFLOTRAN) that integrates PFLOTRAN, OpenFOAM, PhreeqC and TensorFlow to streamline complex workflows. He has hands-on expertise in pore-scale modelling and has driven a production ML solution that significantly speeds reactive transport calculations. Comfortable bridging research and production, he combines deep domain knowledge in subsurface processes with practical software engineering to deliver reproducible, high-performance models. A less obvious strength is his track record of improving developer productivity across simulation teams by building interoperability layers rather than one-off scripts.
