Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGregory Wagner is a Principal Engineer specializing in numerical weather prediction and Earth system modeling, with a Ph.D. in oceanography and over a decade of experience building differentiable atmosphere-ocean forecasting systems. Based in Jackson, Wyoming, he helps lead development of Oceananigans—the GPU-accelerated ocean component of the Climate Modeling Alliance—translating advanced fluid dynamics into performant, research-ready software. At Aeolus Labs he’s focused on making atmosphere models differentiable to enable faster scientific iteration and improved forecasting, blending deep domain science with production-grade engineering. His background spans academic research at MIT and UC San Diego to applied engineering roles, and his open-source contributions include careful back-end work to improve code consistency in high-performance Julia projects. Notably, he combines expertise in internal-wave and quasi-geostrophic theory from his dissertation with practical skills in making complex simulations maintainable and fast.
