Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMilan Holec is a physicist and computational leader with a decade of experience building high-performance hydrodynamic and kinetic models for fusion plasmas. As Director of Theory and Computing at Xcimer Energy, he drives development of EM wave propagation, Boltzmann kinetics, and hydrodynamics on HPC platforms while leading the GSN project and HYDRA code work. His background spans national labs and international research centers, where he advanced deterministic transport methods, high-order numerics, and adaptive mesh schemes bridging kinetic and fluid descriptions. Milan combines deep theory (PhD in Applied Physics) with hands-on software craftsmanship—“serious numerics for serious physics”—to turn complex plasma physics into scalable simulation tools. Based in Boulder, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor and production-focused engineering that accelerates fusion modeling from algorithm to run-ready code.
