Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Storer is a research-focused applied mathematician and research associate with 11 years of experience studying geophysical fluid dynamics, primarily the stability of large oceanic waves and vortices. He completed a PhD at the University of Waterloo, where he developed parallelized HPC simulations, bespoke models, and diagnostics used to probe Coriolis-dominated flows. At the University of Rochester he progressed from postdoctoral associate to research associate, translating deep theoretical insight into reproducible computational research and clear technical reports. Benjamin pairs strong teaching and communication skills—honed as a lecturer, TA, and math resource tutor—with practical expertise in MATLAB scripting, data analysis, and automated report generation. He has a track record of interdisciplinary work, from defense-oriented optimization and Pareto-front studies to mathematical biosciences, that reflects an ability to apply mathematical reasoning to diverse, real-world problems. Colleagues can expect a methodical researcher who values rigorous simulation tools and making complex mathematics accessible to broader audiences.
