Jacob Lotz is a scientific software consultant and former TU Delft PhD candidate with three years of hands-on experience building high-fidelity simulation tooling for naval and hydrofoil flows. He combines deep domain knowledge in naval architecture and fluid dynamics with practical expertise in C++ finite element libraries—contributing mesh quality and NURBS improvements to the widely used MFEM project. At TU Delft he developed reduced-order and space-time isogeometric methods implemented in open-source frameworks (DelFI, MFEM, libROM), bridging research-grade algorithms and production-ready code. Now based in The Hague and consulting at 24Beta, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor and product-oriented software engineering to tackle computationally intensive problems.

Back-end Developer
Contributions:82 reviews, 21 commits, 13 PRs in 13 days
Contributions summary:Jacob's commits primarily involve modifications within the `fem/tmop.cpp` and `mesh/nurbs.cpp` files, indicating a focus on finite element method (FEM) related code. The code changes include modifications to TMOP (Target-matrix optimization paradigm) mesh quality metrics and NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) functionality. The work likely involves improvements and adjustments to existing methods.
