Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAsher Davidson is a Sr. Principal Software Engineer and physicist with 11 years of experience building high-performance simulation codes and data-analysis tools for plasma, laser–material interaction, and material physics applications. He combines deep domain expertise—PhD-level physics and kinetic/fluid plasma modeling—with hands-on coding in Fortran, C/C++, Python and MATLAB to deliver validated models used in government and academic experiments. His quasi-3D algorithm work produced orders-of-magnitude speedups in simulations and he has a proven track record of translating theory into peer-reviewed results and operational tools at NRL, UCLA, and Northrop Grumman. Asher pairs technical leadership (grant and proposal review, SBIR experience) with mentorship—lecturing at UCLA and advising interns and junior scientists—while maintaining active tooling skills in Git, LaTeX and Unix. Fluent in English and Japanese, he also brings an eye for visualization and outreach, sharing creative work publicly outside of engineering.
