Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Zwinger is an adjunct professor and senior application specialist with 11+ years’ experience developing scientific software and numerical solutions for continuum mechanics, particularly using FEM for glaciology and micro-fluidics. He leads HPC work packages in Nordic Centres of Excellence (eSTICC, SVALI) and co-led EU FP7 efforts to quantify ice-driven sea level rise, blending hands-on Elmer code development with cross-disciplinary climate–glacier model coupling. A seasoned collaborator and visiting researcher (Beijing Normal, Hokkaido, Tasmania), he organizes advanced summer schools and bridges academic research with national and international computational projects. His background in mechanical engineering and a history of adapting CFD tools for applied problems (including avalanche modeling) underscore a pragmatic inventiveness rarely seen in purely academic profiles.
