Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Hendriks, PhD, is a research-focused software engineer with nine years' experience bridging computational astrophysics, AI/ML, and high-performance simulation engineering. He currently leads GPU-accelerated, meshless CFD development at Morpheus Fluid while building LLM-powered discovery tools for astronomy at UniverseTBD, combining CUDA/C++ numerical optimization with retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search. His academic work centers on binary stellar evolution and Bayesian data-assimilation, and he routinely integrates machine learning with traditional sampling to improve uncertainty estimation. Comfortable across Python, C, PyTorch and HPC stacks, he moves research code toward production-quality simulation and analysis pipelines. Notably, he extracts and connects knowledge from thousands of astrophysics talks into searchable datasets, enabling automated code synthesis and literature linking for researchers. Based in Guildford, he pairs rigorous PhD-level science with pragmatic software craftsmanship to deliver reproducible, high-performance research tools.
