Summary
Nicholas Rathmann is a postdoctoral researcher at the Niels Bohr Institute with 11 years of experience turning theoretical physics into robust numerical models and simulations. He combines deep expertise in physics and mathematics with strong programming skills to tackle problems in nonlinear and anisotropic fluids, elastic solids, wave propagation (radar and seismic), hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical turbulence, and under-determined inverse problems. His toolset spans the finite element and spectral methods, control optimization, and practical implementation of complex physical models. Trained with a PhD from the University of Copenhagen and research experience at the University of Bergen, he is comfortable navigating both analytical theory and large-scale computational workflows. Colleagues value his ability to bridge abstract theory and usable code, frequently revealing simpler numerical strategies within seemingly intractable physical systems.
