Summary
Stephen Wasilewski is a software engineer and researcher with 12 years of experience bridging architecture, daylighting simulation, and computational research; he is currently a software engineer at Solemma after postdoctoral work at EPFL. Trained as an architect (MArch, UC Berkeley) with a BA in Physics and pursuing a PhD in Civil Engineering, he specializes in climate-based spatio-temporal glare assessment and advanced lighting simulation workflows. His decade of practice as a daylight consultant includes high-profile collaborations with Gehry Partners, BIG, and Heatherwick Studio, where he developed bespoke simulation techniques now applied in research projects. Comfortable moving between academia and industry, he combines rigorous experimental methods with production-oriented software development to turn complex environmental models into usable tools. Based in North Carolina, he brings a rare blend of design sensibility, quantitative rigor, and practical engineering for high-performance building and climate-aware simulation problems.
