Summary
Georgii Oblapenko is a physicist-engineer and software developer with 12 years' experience building advanced numerical solvers for rarefied, high-enthalpy and plasma flows; he holds a PhD in Mechanics of Fluid, Gas and Plasma and is currently a member of scientific staff at RWTH Aachen. His research career spans postdoctoral roles at DLR (Humboldt fellow) and UT Austin where he led development of PIC-DSMC, DVM, DG and moment-method algorithms, plus photon Monte Carlo radiative solvers and uncertainty quantification for non-equilibrium flows. He writes production numerical code in C++, Fortran, Julia and Python and pairs that with data-science tooling (NumPy/SciPy/Pandas, XGBoost/LightGBM/CatBoost) to bridge simulation, UQ and ML workflows. Beyond core CFD/plasma work he has practical experience in web backends, DSP implementations and creative coding for interactive art installations, reflecting a knack for applying rigorous computation in diverse contexts.
