Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEliot Quon is a senior engineer and computational fluid dynamicist with 11 years of experience applying high-performance computing to wind-energy and atmospheric modeling. He leads multiscale, turbulence-resolving simulation efforts—bridging regional weather prediction and wind-plant microscale dynamics—to improve turbine performance, load prediction, and environmental impact assessments. At NREL he steered the DOE-funded ERF regional forecast model and open-source workflows for CPU/GPU portability, validating mesoscale-to-microscale coupling using AMReX and modern HPC stacks. His work uniquely blends hands-on CFD and aeroservoelastic modeling with data curation and ML-driven analysis for wildlife and wake detection, reflecting both code-level expertise and applied field validation. Based in Golden, Colorado, he combines deep academic training (PhD, Georgia Tech) with cross-disciplinary leadership that advances both research platforms and operational wind-farm decision tools.
