Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacopo Canton is a Senior Scientist based in Zurich with 12 years of experience applying computational fluid mechanics and high-performance computing to weather, climate and turbulence problems. He leads development on EXCLAIM and extpar at ETH Zürich, building kilometer-scale ICON/COSMO workflows and preprocessing pipelines that bridge massive geospatial datasets with production climate models. His research blends rigorous numerical analysis, reinforcement- and supervised-learning-enhanced fluid solvers, and gradient-based optimization of systems with hundreds of millions of degrees of freedom. Comfortable in C++, Fortran and Python, he couples research code to HPC infrastructure and has experience integrating ML agents directly into CFD codes. Known for uncovering subtle flaws in turbulence control methods during his PhD, he brings an experimental mindset to practical engineering challenges. Seeking to transition into industry, he offers a rare combination of deep theoretical insight and production-grade simulation engineering.
