Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Erwin is a research scientist based in Brussels with 11 years of experience applying applied mathematics, numerical methods, and physics to planetary atmosphere problems. He has led modeling and automation efforts across academia and government labs—from hybrid fluid-kinetic simulations of Pluto’s escaping atmosphere to 3D photochemistry of exoplanet gas giants and automated spectral retrievals for ExoMars’ NOMAD instrument. Skilled at turning complex physical models into robust, production-ready code, he bridges theoretical research and operational data processing for space missions. His background in state estimation for nonlinear differential-algebraic systems and teaching experience sharpen his ability to communicate technical ideas and validate numerical methods. Notably, he combines deep domain expertise with hands-on implementation of automation pipelines that make planetary science observations reproducible and scalable.
