Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Wilkinson is a computational scientist with 11 years' experience developing high-fidelity hydrodynamics models and production software for compressible fluid and solid dynamics, phase change and combustion. Based at AWE since 2019, he blends rigorous numerical methods with systems-level coding in Python, C++ and Fortran to turn advanced CFD research into robust simulation tools. His background spans a Cambridge PhD and MPhil in scientific computing, hands-on detector and photonics work at CERN and Southampton, and short research placements that reveal a knack for crossing disciplinary boundaries. Colleagues rely on him for delivering complex physics models into practical codebases, and he brings an experimental physicist’s attention to uncertainty and edge-case behaviour that improves model fidelity.
