Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeordie Mcbain is a mechanical engineer and applied mathematician with 14 years' experience building first-principles and data-driven models for high-technology engineering firms, from thermal inkjet printers to multiphysics industrial systems. He combines deep training in classical applied mathematics, heat transfer and dynamical-systems theory with practical software engineering in Python and C++, streamlining simulation pipelines from legacy CAD formats through finite-element solution to visualization. A frequent contributor and maintainer on prominent scientific projects (notably meshio, pygmsh and SciPy), he improves core meshing and numerical tooling while also enhancing documentation and test automation. Comfortable translating anomalous lab or field observations into clear mechanistic explanations, he leverages model-reduction and data-assimilation to make massive simulations tractable and predictive. Based in Sydney, he thrives in multidisciplinary teams and has a habit of unifying diverse physical problems into reusable, high-level simulation frameworks.
