Senior🎓
Top SchoolRogerio Jorge is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a decade of experience developing computational tools for stellarator optimization and fusion theory. He has led EUROfusion and FCT-funded projects, held a Humboldt Fellowship at the Max-Planck Institute, and developed high-performance codes in Python and C++ for MHD and stellarator design. His background blends academic rigor from EPFL/IST with practical software engineering—CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes-deployed APIs, and web development from a startup he co-founded. Known for translating advanced mathematical methods into usable simulation tools, he also mentors students and publishes peer-reviewed work across plasma physics and computational science. An unusual mix of talents, he’s a conservatory-trained classical guitarist, reflecting a long-standing commitment to disciplined creativity alongside technical excellence.
