Vedant Puri is a PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon with eight years of experience building differentiable, high-order PDE solvers and scalable transformer architectures tailored to CFD and battery simulations. He bridges academic rigor and production engineering—contributing test infrastructure to high-profile SciML projects like OrdinaryDiffEq.jl and helping deploy neural PDEs in commercial products such as JuliaSIM. His background spans supercomputer-scale fluid dynamics, automated meshing, and deployable neural PDE architectures, reflecting deep expertise in numerical methods and scientific machine learning. Based in Pittsburgh, he combines hands-on solver development in Julia with attention to testability and integration, and he often works at the intersection of geometry, meshing, and differentiable simulation.

QA Engineer / Test Automation Engineer
Contributions:22 reviews, 22 commits, 16 PRs in 5 months
Contributions summary:Vedant primarily contributed to the testing infrastructure of the OrdinaryDiffEq.jl repository. Their commits focused on creating and modifying test files, specifically targeting the `interface` directory. The commits included adding tests for linear solver integration within split ODE problems and debugging failing tests. The user also worked on test configurations to validate the correctness of the solvers and the integration with external libraries, such as LinearSolve.
