Summary
Tom Wang is an R&D engineer with 8 years of cross-disciplinary experience building thermal and software systems, currently focused on thermal simulation and development at Ansys. He holds a BASc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Waterloo and has shipped production C++ code, OpenFOAM-based heat-transfer tools, and AR surgical simulations that blend C#, C++ and heavy linear algebra. Comfortable across simulation, control, and embedded-style software, he has applied model identification (SINDYc), MPC concepts, and genetic optimization to real engineering problems. A polyglot programmer with interests ranging from C++ and Rust to Haskell and OpenGL, he pairs deep numerical skills with practical manufacturing experience from Formula SAE composite work. Based in Calgary, Tom combines curiosity-driven side projects (his GitHub shows a build-first mentality) with a track record of turning research-grade methods into performant, production-ready code.
