Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJesse Van Rhijn is a postdoctoral researcher and applied physicist with 11 years of experience solving discrete optimization and computational physics problems using languages like Python, C++11, Haskell, and Rust. His work spans rigorous theoretical analysis of local search heuristics, practical solver interfacing, and applied radar synthesis and control, blending operations research and theoretical computer science. He earned a cum laude PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science and has a strong track record in Monte Carlo methods and stochastic PDE sampling from prior research projects. Known for crafting elegant, performant code, Jesse brings both deep mathematical insight and hands-on software engineering to bridge theory and deployable solutions. An interesting thread through his career is combining high-precision numerical methods with modern software design—evident from contributions ranging from propeller design for competitive solar boats to creating common C++ solver interfaces.
