Summary
Saba Kharabadze is a research scientist with 11 years of experience blending physics, high-performance computing, and backend software engineering, currently based in Tuscany and working at CNIT RaSS Lab. He holds a PhD in Physics from Binghamton University and has deep hands-on experience administering university-scale HPC clusters and building Python-based APIs that integrate ElasticSearch and SQL backends. His trajectory spans academic research, teaching, and applied engineering roles—from preparing students for international physics competitions to developing production data pipelines in industry. Saba has transitioned smoothly between roles as a system administrator, research assistant, and volunteer research consultant, showing a rare mix of operational rigor and research creativity. He maintains a personal website to showcase his work and leverages his physics background to tackle complex computational problems rather than just writing code. Colleagues describe him as someone who moves comfortably between low-level system maintenance and higher-level research questions, making him effective at turning theoretical ideas into reproducible, scalable implementations.
