Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Leopardi is a research software engineer with 24 years in IT and a strong academic footing—PhD in Mathematics and over a decade of postgraduate teaching in numerical linear algebra and optimization. He now applies his expertise to high-performance computing for national weather and climate research, bringing hands-on experience with ScaLAPACK, MPI and object-oriented numerical analysis. His research spans constructive approximation on manifolds, combinatorics and statistics of sequences, and novel applications of Clifford algebras, resulting in a steady publication record and multiple research programs. Paul is polyglot in languages from Python and C++ to Fortran, Pascal and assembler, and has a rare blend of production HPC support (Bureau of Meteorology, NCI) and deep theoretical work from his UNSW thesis on sphere partitions. He also holds a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education and an Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, reflecting sustained commitment to teaching and research communication. Based in Canberra, he combines decades of industry-grade systems design with active research-driven software development for scientific computing.
