Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNienke Blom is an R&D engineer at Cosmo Tech with 12 years of experience bridging scientific research and production engineering, holding a PhD in Geophysics and Seismology from Utrecht University. She combines deep quantitative skills—numerical optimization, inverse theory, and large-scale earthquake simulations on HPC—with practical expertise in processing terabyte-scale datasets using Python and MATLAB. Her background spans fieldwork in remote locations, supervising students, international collaboration, and creating clear visualizations that reveal hidden structure in complex data. Curious and multilingual in thinking, she’s as comfortable tuning simulation performance on clusters as she is translating scientific results into actionable insights for applied R&D. Passionate about language and the outdoors, she brings a researcher’s rigor and a maker’s drive to real-world problems.
