Summary
Dennis Thomas is a computational scientist with over a decade of experience applying mathematical modeling, simulation, and AI/ML to problems spanning chemical engineering, computational biology, nanoscience, risk analysis, and national security. Based at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, he has built physics-based multiscale models and data-driven predictors for infectious disease dynamics, nanoparticle dosimetry and toxicity, and has developed domain-aware AI tools for early detection of nuclear-technology–directed research. He is fluent in Python, C/C++, Fortran, R, Matlab and high-performance computing, and combines those skills with ontology and graph-analytics expertise (notably the NanoParticle Ontology) to make heterogeneous scientific data interoperable. His work has supported NIH, DHS, DTRA, DoD and NNSA missions and resulted in a sustained scholarly record across peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and technical reports. Beyond modeling, he has taught a broad spectrum of mathematics courses and recently pursued formal AI/ML training at the McCombs School of Business, reflecting a continual push to marry domain science with modern machine learning.
