Summary
Willow Veytsman is a computer science undergraduate and research assistant at the University of Rochester who applies systems-level programming (Rust, C++, CUDA) to accelerate physics simulations across CPU and GPU platforms. She combines hands-on research—authoring a peer-reviewed paper comparing Rust and C++ performance—with practical teaching experience as a TA for programming language implementation and operating systems courses. Previously she built full-stack web apps with React/Node and managed services on AWS, giving her a rare mix of high-performance computing and production web/sysadmin skills. Comfortable across Python, Java, and C, she also brings strong Linux expertise from coursework and real-world sysadmin work. Outside labs and classrooms, she plays the flute, reflecting a disciplined, creative mindset that complements her technical rigor.
