Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEnrico Guiraud is a scientific software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in high-performance C++ and Python systems for large-scale data analysis and simulation. Currently leading the team building a Stellarator simulation platform at Proxima Fusion, he combines low-level performance optimization with user-centric API design to make complex scientific workflows productive and maintainable. Previously at CERN he was a code owner for ROOT’s modern, parallel analysis interfaces, delivering ergonomic abstractions for systematic variations and tools to benchmark TB-scale analyses across hundreds of threads. His PhD work and publications blend ergonomic data-analysis interfaces with novel unsupervised learning algorithms, reflecting a rare mix of research depth and production-grade engineering. An active contributor to the flagship ROOT repository, he has a track record of refactoring for vectorization and GPU readiness while mentoring teams and engaging with the broader HEP community. Based in Italy, he excels at translating cutting-edge R&D into robust tooling used by O(10k) scientists.
