Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrei Nicusan is a CTO and co-founder blending a Birmingham Chemical Engineering PhD with nine years of hands-on software and research experience to build AI-driven, high-performance simulation and optimisation platforms for industrial R&D. He designs massively-parallel, simulation-engine-agnostic architectures and evolutionary algorithms that autonomously discover scale-up laws, correlations and patentable geometries for powder and fluid processing. A pragmatic open-science advocate, he publishes core algorithms as open source while steering commercially-focused pipelines now used by industry partners including AstraZeneca, Unilever and JDE. Equally comfortable in fast code and scientific publishing, he has secured substantial research funding and delivered tools adopted at international positron-imaging centres—an uncommon mix of deep domain expertise, production-grade engineering and product-minded research leadership.
