Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Hanlon is an Assistant Professor and theoretical physicist with over a decade of experience translating fundamental science problems into high-performance software and scalable computational workflows. His research specializes in Lattice QCD, developing GPU-optimized algorithms and code for supercomputers to enable high-fidelity simulations of nuclear and particle interactions. He has led numerical and algorithmic advances across top institutions—including Brookhaven, Carnegie Mellon, and Mainz—bridging theory, large-scale computation, and practical software engineering. With a PhD in theoretical physics and a background in computer science, he combines deep analytical modeling with hands-on HPC development, unusually fluent at moving between abstract formalism and low-level performance tuning. Based in Kent, Ohio, he continues to push computational frontiers while mentoring the next generation of computational physicists.
