Andres Codas is a Research Software Engineer with 11 years of experience applying optimization, control and simulation to industrial-scale problems, currently at Microsoft and previously a research scientist at IBM. He holds a PhD in Cybernetics from NTNU and a strong academic foundation in control, nonlinear and mixed-integer optimization applied to oilfield production, reservoir simulation surrogates, and risk-aware operational planning. Andres combines deep theoretical work—PDE-constrained optimization, physics-informed ML and Bayesian model recommendation—with hands-on prototyping and accelerating simulations for real-world deployments. Based in Rio de Janeiro, he brings a rare mix of field-focused engineering and advanced research, having led projects from cutting-plane algorithms to ML reduced-order models for climate and supply-chain resilience. Quietly interdisciplinary, he often serves as an engagement catalyst, translating community needs into research priorities and measurable product innovations.
