Summary
Justin Winokur is a manager at Sandia National Laboratories with a decade of experience applying verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification to expensive computational models across structural dynamics, solid mechanics, remote sensing, and aerospace problems. He combines a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Duke with hands-on tool development in Python and MATLAB to deliver pragmatic, data-driven credibility assessments and surrogate models for high-fidelity simulations. Known for bridging engineering and analysis teams, he builds reproducible workflows for sensitivity analysis, probabilistic modeling, and UQ that scale to costly experiments and codes. Beyond his day job, he pursues Python hobby projects in web tooling and file synchronization, reflecting a continual appetite for practical software craftsmanship.
