Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Silber is a Ph.D. candidate in Physics and software engineer who builds high-performance simulation tools for non-linear continuum models, notably authoring SymPhas, a novel C++ phase-field modelling API and symbolic algebra library. He combines 11 years of software experience and academic rigor—NSERC-funded at both MSc and PhD levels—with production engineering skills gained at RBC in big data, PySpark, and automated deployments. His expertise spans C++, Python, Java, Linux, HPC and parallelization (OpenMP, MPI, CUDA), enabling him to translate mathematical models of active matter and cellular migration into scalable, reproducible code. Unusually for an academic, he has maintained a production-grade codebase since 2017 that is used to explore both biological processes and materials physics, reflecting a rare blend of research depth and industrial software practice.
