Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCaroline Hughes is an Energy Data and Simulation Analyst based in Denver with nine years of experience applying scientific computing to energy and nuclear engineering challenges. She builds automated simulation pipelines and analysis tools using Python, MATLAB, Julia and Monte Carlo codes (MCNP6, Serpent, SCALE), turning complex transport and fuel-assessment workflows into reproducible software. Her background in numerical methods and PDEs complements hands-on reactor modeling and safeguards analyses performed at NREL, UC Berkeley and Los Alamos. Alongside technical research she brings a creative edge from five years as a freelance graphic and UI/UX designer, enabling clear visualization and communication of technical results. Colleagues rely on her to bridge domain modeling, automation, and presentation—often integrating bash and scripting to orchestrate multi-tool simulation campaigns. She combines rigorous engineering physics training with a knack for practical tooling that accelerates decision-making in energy and nonproliferation projects.
