Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPratheek Shanthraj is a Principal Scientist and computational materials modeller with 14 years' experience applying high-performance finite element and spectral methods to metallurgy, multiscale mechanics and large-scale scientific software. He has led teams of researchers, secured and managed over £14M in research funding, and authored widely used open-source simulation code that underpins industrial partnerships with Airbus, Rolls-Royce and UKAEA. Equally at home in C/C++, Fortran and Python, he bridges deep numerical analysis and practical engineering—turning thermodynamics and crystal-plasticity theory into production-grade solvers for metals processing and performance prediction. A former Max‑Planck and North Carolina State researcher, he combines academic rigor (PhD in Mechanical Engineering) with hands-on software engineering for HPC, making him a go-to person for industry–academia collaborative projects.
