CZI Grant Developer Hired: Dr. Sam Brockie

[Jason Moore]

SymPy community,

As many of you know, Oscar, Aaron, and I were awarded a 2 year CZI grant that will fund Oscar, Aaron, and a postdoctoral researcher to complete the objectives laid out in the proposal. We are happy to announce that we have hired the postdoc. Dr. Sam Brockie will join TU Delft from September 2022 to September 2023 as a postdoc with my research group. He'll work on improving code generation and demonstrating the capabilities on advanced biomechanical modeling.

Sam did his PhD at Cambridge in the UK where he used SymPy to solve optimal control problems related to bicycle racing. He most recently has been working with the Great Britain Cycling Team as a staff scientist. Sam has developed several packages that make use of SymPy, for example pycollo, a tool for solving trajectory optimization problems from SymPy model descriptions. We hope to incorporate some of the software Sam wrote during his PhD work into SymPy.

Please welcome Sam and you'll start hearing more from him once he starts the job in September.
