Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Robinson is a Physical Scientist with a decade of experience enabling climate and weather model simulations to run efficiently on supercomputers at NOAA/GFDL. With a PhD in Meteorology and a background developing the Hawaiian Orographic Precipitation Model, he bridges deep atmospheric science expertise and low-level model engineering. He is a pragmatic Fortran coder who routinely solves complex computational and simulation bottlenecks to keep large-scale experiments productive. Based in Raritan, New Jersey, Tom combines academic research, teaching experience, and operational modeling to deliver reproducible, high-performance simulation workflows. A detail-oriented problem solver, he also maintains research software and tools that translate novel precipitation physics into operational modeling advances.
