Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric C is a Computational Simulations Engineer with a decade of experience applying high-performance finite element methods to national-scale problems at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. from UC Davis and progressed from graduate researcher and postdoc roles into applied simulation engineering, bringing deep numerical methods and multiphysics modeling expertise. Eric contributes to prominent open-source projects like MFEM, where his backend work on fem/transfer.cpp and a new ElemMixedMass routine improved solver behavior and code robustness. Comfortable in C++ and scientific computing stacks, he pairs rigorous academic training with practical code hygiene—refactoring, tolerance tuning, and clearer documentation—to make complex simulations more maintainable and scalable. Based in Sacramento, he blends national lab rigor with hands-on development experience gained at Sandia and industry engineering roles, giving him a rare mix of theoretical depth and production-oriented engineering.
