Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIury Simoes-sousa is a computational scientist and data-focused engineer with 11 years of experience applying numerical methods, machine learning, and full-stack development to oceanographic and geophysical problems. Currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he combines PhD-level expertise in Computational Science and Engineering with hands-on work developing data-driven turbulence closures and stochastic models. His background spans academia and industry—from Petrobras and Universidade de São Paulo to startups—where he built end-to-end ML pipelines, web backends, and data ingestion systems using Python, RDKit, SQL, Docker and AWS. Iury’s work blends rigorous physical modeling (EOFs, geostrophic calculations, objective analysis) with modern data engineering practices, enabling actionable insights from large environmental datasets. Based in New Bedford, MA, he also brings uncommon interdisciplinary breadth—holding formal training in music as an accordionist—which informs a creative, systems-oriented approach to research and engineering.
