Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikhil Vaidya is a Sr. MEMS Simulation Software Engineer with eight years of experience applying FEM/FVM and advanced numerical methods to real-world engineering problems. He holds a PhD in Computational Engineering (cum laude) from RWTH Aachen and has blended academic rigor with industry product work—developing MEMS resonator simulation and design automation at SiTime. His doctoral and Marie Curie–funded work produced real-time mathematical models for thermal ablation of liver tumors, demonstrating expertise in heat transfer in biological tissue and inverse problem solving on HPC systems. Nikhil’s background spans CFD, glacier flow, and nuclear few-body problems, reflecting a rare versatility in physics-based simulation across scales. Comfortable coding in Python and parallel environments, he quickly assimilates state-of-the-art methods to deliver practical simulation tools. Based in the Netherlands, he’s open to cross-disciplinary simulation and modelling challenges where strong linear algebra and numerical skills accelerate product development.
