Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Yoder is a research computing consultant and physicist with 11 years of experience applying big-data, numerical simulation, and machine-learning methods to geophysics, natural hazards, and scientific computing workflows. He manages research compute infrastructure at Stanford’s Doerr School of Sustainability while advising teams on pragmatic, production-ready approaches that blend physics-based models with modern data science. His background includes leading development of an MPI-enabled earthquake simulator (Virtual Quake) and production ML systems for real-time radiation dosimetry, reflecting a rare mix of high-performance C++/MPI and Python data-science practice. Comfortable turning complex physical models into validated, scalable code, he also brings experience in grant writing and teaching, making him effective at translating research questions into reproducible computational solutions. An often-overlooked strength is his history of integrating scientific constraints into ML pipelines, yielding interpretable, physics-informed predictions rather than black-box models.
