Andrew joined Berkeley Lab in 2013 as a postdoctoral researcher in the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group. He is now a staff member in the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering, where he designs and implements HPC algorithms for solving multiscale, multiphysics problems using structured adaptive meshes and particles. He is a core contributor to the AMReX adaptive mesh library, and also contributes to a number of AMReX-based simulation codes in subjects ranging from computational plasma physics to epidemiology. He was a member of the 2022 Gordon-Bell prize-winning team for kinetic plasma simulations with the WarpX Particle-in-Cell code, and received a Director's Award for Exceptional Scientific Achievement in 2023.
