Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJimmy Carleton is a computational scientist with a decade of experience developing multiphysics simulation software at Sandia National Laboratories, focused on structural shock waves, piezo/ferroelectric materials, radiation hydrodynamics, and magnetohydrodynamics. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Computational Science from UT Austin) with hands-on expertise in parallel finite-element codes, PETSc/MPI optimization, and custom constitutive models implemented in production tools like Abaqus. His work probes microscale mechanisms to explain macroscale material behavior, from engineered tissue fiber networks to microstructural damage in composites. Earlier career roles in helicopter rotor design and certification sharpened his practical engineering judgment and systems integration skills. Based in Albuquerque, he brings both high-performance computing savvy and experimental awareness to national-security–scale problems. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex physics into robust, scalable simulation workflows that run efficiently on large HPC systems.
