Philip Mocz joined the Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) in 2024 as a Software Engineer. His work focuses on developing software for scalable high-performance multi-physics simulations integrated with AI optimization workflows. Before joining the foundation, Mocz was a computational physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where he developed scientific software for advanced heterogeneous computing architectures to address the modeling needs of the high-energy-density physics community. Before that, he was an Einstein Fellow at Princeton University leading computational work on ultralight dark matter models. He holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics and an A.B. in mathematics/astrophysics from Harvard University.
