Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hansen is a Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories with a decade of experience building high-performance, extensible engineering science codes for hypersonics, reacting flows, and large-eddy simulations. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering (4.0 GPA) and has advanced production aerodynamics software by deriving entropy-stable fluxes, integrating Python/C++ chemistry tabulation, and redesigning YAML-driven, schema-validated input frameworks. Michael’s work blends rigorous numerical analysis—high-order, entropy-stable schemes and adaptive time integration—with practical software engineering for scalable, production-grade codes. He has steadily progressed through research to senior technical leadership at Sandia, often tackling nonobvious challenges like provable stability for reacting gases and automated user-manual generation from schemas. Based in Albuquerque, he pairs deep domain expertise with a track record of shipping robust, high-performance CFD tools used in national-lab applications.
