Weston Lowrie is a senior scientist-engineer with 12+ years of experience designing and implementing high-performance numerical simulation tools for government and research clients. He architects extensible, massively parallel codes—ranging from high-order spectral element MHD solvers to multi-fluid CFD and particle methods—and leads projects as PM/PI developing data-driven reduced order models. Weston blends rigorous academic training (PhD, UW) with practical engineering—from porting climate models to optimizing HPC workflows—favoring open-source ecosystems to accelerate collaboration and reuse. Based in Seattle, he is notable for coupling advanced mesh-error estimation and CAD/mesh integration with production-ready simulation stacks, enabling faster, more reliable predictive science.
