Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaulo Simões is a solar physicist and university lecturer with nine years of professional experience combining academic teaching and hands-on research in solar activity and flare physics. Based at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in São Paulo, he leads research, supervision and coursework while maintaining an active publication and outreach record. His technical strengths span observational data analysis (time series, imaging, spectra), computational modeling and code optimization—having ported IDL simulations to C/OpenMP for >15x speedups. At the University of Glasgow he contributed to EU project coordination, developed project web/social channels and applied FFT/wavelet periodicity analysis to flare studies. He holds a PhD in Space Geophysics and bridges electrical engineering roots with advanced solar data science to constrain simulation parameter spaces from observations. Colleagues value him for turning complex observational datasets into tractable, faster models that inform physical interpretation.
