Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPascal Elahi is a Quantum Supercomputing Research Lead and computational astrophysicist with over a decade of experience applying numerical simulation and HPC to cosmology and galaxy-formation problems. Holding a PhD in Astrophysics from Queen’s University, he built a strong track record of developing C/C++ and Python-based scientific software optimized with MPI/OpenMP across multiple supercomputing centres. Based in Perth, he combines hands-on HPC operations at Pawsey with academic roles at UWA and Curtin, bridging research, teaching, and platform enablement. Now focused on quantum supercomputing, he leverages deep expertise in computational physics to help researchers turn complex science into scalable, reproducible workloads. Less obvious: his career blends international postdoctoral stints and applied software engineering, giving him rare fluency in both cutting-edge theory and production-grade scientific code.
