Summary
Francois Hamon is a computational scientist and engineer with nine years of experience bridging applied mathematics and high-performance scientific software, currently a Member of Technical Staff in Livermore working on large-scale multiphysics simulation platforms. He has a PhD from Stanford and a strong track record at TotalEnergies and national labs developing GPU-enabled, exascale-ready features for the open-source GEOS reservoir and CO2-storage simulator. Francois combines expertise in numerical simulation, machine learning workflows, and parallel time-integration methods with hands-on implementation of robust nonlinear solvers for porous media flow. He has mentored academic and industry collaborators to accelerate integration of research into production-grade code and demonstrated an unusual blend of academic rigor and production-focused engineering. Based in California but Swiss by background, he pairs a broad mathematical foundation (Mines Paris, Pierre & Marie Curie) and business training (ESSEC) to communicate technical results to stakeholders and customers.
