Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Bauer is a Senior Engineer with 11+ years designing and implementing numerical algorithms and interfaces for PDE discretization, specializing in adaptive finite element methods and parallel computing. He blends deep scientific computing expertise in C++, Fortran, Python and MPI with practical tooling experience in CMake to deliver efficient, scalable simulation and visualization software. His contributions to Kitware projects like ParaView and VTK include low-level C++ work on filters and improving parallel CSV writing, reflecting comfort with both in situ visualization and distributed data processing. He has moved between research and industry roles—from Rensselaer and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering to Kitware and the DoD—bringing a rigorous, research-driven approach to production code. Now at GE Aerospace, he applies that background to high-performance engineering challenges where numerical fidelity and parallel efficiency matter. Colleagues value him for translating complex mathematical methods into robust, maintainable software rather than one-off prototypes.
