Arno Mayrhofer is a Team Lead and software engineer with 15 years of experience bridging scientific research and production-grade engineering, currently leading a team at Track Machines Connected in Vienna. He brings deep expertise in particle-based simulation and high-performance computing from roles as a postdoc and PhD researcher working on SPH and turbulence, then translating that into industry as a research consultant at DCS Computing. He has hands-on experience in back-end and infrastructure development, contributing fixes and build improvements to the widely used LIGGGHTS DEM project, demonstrating comfort with complex C++/MPI codebases and cross-platform compilation. Known for turning numerical methods into robust software, he pairs a solid mathematical foundation (MSc in Mathematics) with practical delivery and tooling skills. Outside work he balances rigor with curiosity, spending holidays freediving — a detail that reflects his discipline and taste for focused, technical challenges.
