Summary
🎓
Top SchoolIurii Timrov is a tenure-track scientist and software engineer with eight years of experience developing and sustaining open-source electronic-structure codes for predictive materials modeling. Based at Paul Scherrer Institut and a long-time co-developer of Quantum ESPRESSO, he designs and implements advanced numerical algorithms (DFPT, TDDFPT, DFPT+U) that accelerate and automate simulations of structural, vibrational, electronic, and magnetic properties. He combines deep theoretical and computational physics expertise with pragmatic software engineering skills in Fortran, Python and HPC optimization, routinely delivering user-friendly, production-grade modules used by hundreds of researchers worldwide. Iurii leads projects end-to-end—coding, benchmarking, user support, data curation and supervising students—while fostering international collaborations across spectroscopy and large-scale facilities. Notably, his implementations have enabled automatic Hubbard-parameter workflows and faster spectroscopic simulations that translate directly into new experimental insights.
