Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaptiste Mouginot is a scientific developer and consultant with a decade of experience applying software engineering best practices to nuclear simulation and analysis workflows. Trained as a nuclear physicist (PhD) and certified Carpentries instructor, he blends domain expertise—Monte Carlo transport (MCNP, Geant4), fuel cycle modeling (Cyclus, CLASS, PyNE) and enrichment cascade research—with strong automation skills in C++, Python, Docker and CI/CD. He has led maintenance and CI efforts for major community tools (Cyclus, Svalinn-suite, PyNE) and implemented platform-specific build and testing improvements visible in PyNE’s repository. As a contractor he delivers workflow design, test suites, environment packaging, and bespoke analysis or simulation interfaces for national labs and industry, including UW–Madison, MIT and First Light Fusion. Beyond coding, he focuses on reproducibility and sustainability in scientific software—helping teams transform research scripts into maintainable, auditable tools. Colocated in France, he often bridges short-term R&D contracts and longer-term community support to maximize the impact of scientific software.
