Bryan Weinstein is a physicist-turned-lead modeling and simulation engineer with 11 years’ experience building high-fidelity computational models at MITRE. He combines deep academic training (PhD and fellowships from Harvard, DOE support) with practical expertise in GPU-accelerated simulations and data visualization, having developed a lattice Boltzmann fluid solver and contributed hexagon-based heatmap and trajectory plotting to a popular Python ternary-plot library. Promoted into a lead role, he mentors teams and translates complex physical systems into actionable simulation tools for decision-makers. Based in Walpole, MA, he balances rigorous numerical methods with clear teaching and documentation, and maintains selective open-source work while managing sensitive, private codebases at work.

Contributions summary:Bryan primarily contributed to the development of a ternary plotting library, focusing on implementing heatmap visualizations using hexagons. Their work involved adapting existing plotting functions to utilize hexagonal representations and improving the color mapping. They also modified the colorbar formatting and corrected errors in the hexagon heatmap implementation. Furthermore, the user enhanced the library by implementing and adapting trajectory-based plots.
