Summary
🎓
Top SchoolHarrison Labollita is a computational research scientist and Flatiron Research Fellow with eight years of experience applying physics, scientific computing, and software engineering to large-scale electronic-structure problems. He designs and ships production-quality C++/Python tools (notably the open-source ModEST toolkit) and builds user-focused APIs, documentation, and training that have driven global adoption in the research community. His work spans algorithm design, HPC optimization, and machine-learning–augmented data analysis to turn quantum-mechanical simulations into reproducible, impactful science. Comfortable bridging theory and experiment, he has a strong track record mentoring junior researchers and contributing to community libraries like TRIQS. Based in New York, he pairs a PhD in physics with a knack for translating complex numerical methods into maintainable software used on supercomputers.
