Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarl Bauer is an Associate Research Scientist and computational physicist with 14 years of experience building high-performance electromagnetic and RF/photonic simulation software, often implemented in C++, CUDA, and MPI for top-tier supercomputers like NERSC’s Perlmutter. He has invented and published advanced algorithms for modeling wave interactions at material interfaces and has a track record of turning those methods into production-ready code for real-world engineering problems. His background spans accelerator physics research (PhD-level) and practical software engineering—having rebuilt a full-stack web app with server-side rendering and a custom React state solution, and authored a reusable Android drag-and-drop ListView library. Based in Portland, Oregon, he bridges deep theory and hands-on systems work, comfortable from low-level GPU optimization to user-facing demos. Notably, his career blends long-form academic projects with shipping pragmatic tooling that facilitates both research and product development.
