Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHerbert Schilling is a seasoned computer scientist with over three decades of experience applying scientific programming, visualization, and numerical methods to aerospace research and industrial measurement systems. At NASA Glenn he leads scientific computing and graphics initiatives, co-catalyzes biomimicry and AI/robotics clusters, and contributes to OpenMDAO as a full‑stack developer improving visualization tooling like the N2 diagram visualizer. His background spans signal processing, real‑time systems, electromagnetic and ultrasonic sensor design, image processing, and robotics—skills grounded in a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics from Case Western Reserve. Known for a pragmatic, service‑oriented approach—“show up, work smart, keep learning”—he combines hands‑on coding (notably Python and web tech) with accessibility and knowledge‑management leadership across research teams. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate legacy scientific instrumentation and algorithms into modern web‑driven workflows that support large multidisciplinary research programs.
