Pawan Negi is a computational scientist and software leader with eight years of experience bridging research and product delivery in fluid dynamics and computational engineering. He holds a PhD from IIT Bombay focused on second-order convergent Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and has extended that expertise through postdoctoral and research roles at Illinois Tech, where he also taught calculus. As Co-Managing Partner at NavyGate Technologies he oversees strategic planning and project delivery while maintaining active open-source contributions—notably backend work on the pysph SPH framework adding inlet/outlet treatments, pressure models, and visualization utilities. His background includes three years in defense R&D and commercial CAE software, giving him practical experience in production engineering as well as numerical method development. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns rigorous theory into usable simulation tools, often spotting practical numerical improvements that others miss.
