Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Edmon is a computational astrophysicist and ITC Research Computing Associate at Harvard with 14 years of experience optimizing HPC environments, architecting compute and storage infrastructure, and managing SLURM-driven supercomputing workflows. He combines deep domain expertise in astrophysical fluid dynamics, RMHD, and particle acceleration with hands-on cluster operations—racking, stacking, packaging software, and improving Odyssey cluster throughput—while advising researchers across disciplines. His research background includes developing and parallelizing production MHD codes (WOMBAT, AstroBEAR) and radiation modeling tools, bringing rare fluency in both scientific code performance and practical systems administration. Outside research he contributes to institutional governance as a Regent at Concordia Seminary and pursues semiprofessional choral performance, a mix of commitments that reflects an unusual blend of technical leadership, civic service, and artistic discipline.
