Andres Acosta
Summary
👤
SeniorAndres Gil is a telecommunications engineer and systems researcher with 12 years of experience building scientific software, simulations, and control tools for urban mobility and energy research. As a research assistant at E.ON Energy Research Center and researcher at SAFEr Grid, he blends control theory, optimization, and machine learning with hands-on implementation in Matlab/Octave, Python/Scipy and C++/Qt. He developed and maintains TraCI4Matlab, an API extending SUMO for Matlab users, and has engineered MVC Qt interfaces, parallel simulation platforms and MPI-based HPC clusters for large-scale traffic experiments. His background includes lecturing and doctoral research at the National University of Colombia where he worked on model-based traffic management, emissions analysis and multi-modal data pipelines. Based in Aachen, he is comfortable bridging academic research and production-grade software, with a practical knack for re-engineering APIs and integrating open-source stacks into reproducible workflows.
