Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Schneier is a Senior Engineer and computational scientist with a Ph.D. in Computational Science and five years of professional engineering experience grounded in advanced numerical methods and scientific computing. Based in Pittsburgh, he develops and maintains high-performance C++ finite element code—contributing convective and skew-symmetric vector convection integrators to the notable mfem library—and applies those skills at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory. He also teaches mathematics as an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh, bridging research-grade algorithms with practical engineering applications. His background includes postdoctoral research and internships at national labs, giving him a track record of turning rigorous theory into production-quality code and documentation. Notably, he combines a deep academic pedigree with hands-on back-end development experience, making him adept at both algorithm design and implementation.
