Summary
Sebastián Bruzzone is an astrophysicist and software-savvy researcher with 11+ years of experience applying computational methods to meteor science and circumstellar disk imaging. He holds a PhD in Astronomy from Western University and has worked as a NASA Goddard postdoctoral scholar, producing daily meteor radar reports and developing wavelet- and deep-learning–based pipelines for bolide recovery and meteor analysis. Comfortable across C, CUDA, Fortran, Python and high-performance OpenMP workflows, he blends observational expertise from major telescope campaigns (Gemini South, CTIO, CASLEO) with hands-on pipeline development and database work. As an adjunct professor he continues to bridge research, teaching and software engineering, and his background includes rare dual expertise in polarimetric differential imaging and operational meteor radar monitoring.
