Senior🎓
Top SchoolKlas Karis is a Sr. Scientific Software Developer and computational physicist with nine years of experience building simulation and analysis tools for biophysics and materials science, currently embedded in the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. He combines an Engineering Physics background with hands-on molecular dynamics, umbrella sampling and hybrid Monte Carlo expertise to tackle large-scale membrane and 2D materials problems, and has driven projects spanning cholesterol transport, heat conductance at material boundaries, and impurity diffusion in battery solvents. Comfortable bridging research and software, he focuses on efficient sampling, automated simulation workflows and data-analysis automation—often applying graph-theoretic and machine-learning techniques to extract insight. Based in San Diego, he pairs academic rigor from KTH and UIC with practical experience including military communications and international research collaborations, bringing both systems-level thinking and attention to reproducible computational pipelines.
