Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefan Domino is a PhD-trained computational fluid mechanician and entrepreneur with 14 years of experience advancing low-Mach turbulent flow methods for extreme-scale simulation and marine ethology applications. As CEO and founder of the nonprofit Computational Marine Ethology Research Institute and an adjunct professor and visiting fellow at Stanford, he bridges first-principles physics, numerical methods, and high-performance computing to drive interdisciplinary research and education. Previously a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Sandia, he originated the open-source Nalu code base and led development of unstructured, massively parallel solvers applied to national-scale problems. His recent work spans SciML for turbulence, generative-AI-assisted scientific coding, and federated LLM evaluations—underscoring a rare blend of deep modeling expertise and modern AI tooling. Based in Albuquerque, he combines academic mentorship with hands-on code leadership and nonprofit stewardship to translate foundational fluid mechanics into novel marine behavioral insights.
