Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaul Laasner is a Senior Computational Scientist based in Amsterdam with 10 years of experience at the intersection of high-performance computing and solid-state physics. He excels at decomposing large scientific problems into scalable, parallel-efficient code, with deep hands-on experience in C++, modern Fortran, MPI, OpenMP and GPU programming (CUDA). His work spans production-grade algorithms for Earth observation satellites and massively parallel electronic-structure codes—having implemented magnetic response modules, GPU support, and precision-aware eigenvalue solvers that scale to thousands of cores. Comfortable in dynamic, international teams, he pairs a passion for clean, maintainable code with practical cluster administration and full-stack tooling (CMake, Django) from his postdoc and research roles. Notably, Raul blends physics insight with software engineering discipline—optimizing both numerical stability and parallel performance to deliver reproducible, scalable scientific software.
