Summary
Luis De La Cruz is a researcher and scientific software developer with over eight years of experience building high-performance simulators and parallel algorithms for natural resource modeling, including oil reservoir and groundwater systems. With a PhD in Computer Science and a background in Physics from UNAM, he blends deep numerical methods and CFD expertise with practical skills in C/C++, Python, Fortran, MPI and CUDA to deliver scalable, production-ready code. He leads projects on domain decomposition and massively parallel PDE solvers and has coordinated ICT training programs and master's courses in numerical methods and parallel programming. Having started his career supporting scientific visualization at UNAM’s supercomputing unit, he retains a strong interest in visualization tools like ParaView and OpenDX to connect models with insight. Colleagues describe him as an effective coordinator and approachable teacher who moves fluidly between hands‑on development and research leadership. Based in Mexico City, he pairs academic rigor with practical deployment experience across multidisciplinary geophysics applications.
