Pascal Bähr is a software engineer with a decade of experience building high-performance and heterogeneous computing solutions, currently at Meta after supporting Intel’s oneAPI adoption for HPC customers. He holds a 2024 PhD focused on ray-tracing-based Monte Carlo vacuum simulations, where he led algorithmic optimisations, MPI-based HPC scaling and a GPU kernel that leverages modern RTX ray-tracing hardware. Pascal combines deep scientific programming and systems design—proven by contributions to widely used vacuum simulation tooling and Python migrations for CERN’s ATLAS software—with hands-on consulting for SYCL, oneCCL and GDB. Based in Munich, he blends research rigor with practical engineering to accelerate compute-bound workloads and developer tooling in production environments.
