Hi, I’m Jorge 👋

Welcome to my GitHub profile!

🧪 About Me

I am originally from Tampico, Tamaulipas in Mexico. 🇲🇽

I’m an experimental chemist turned computational chemist turned computational scientist—now diving deep into the realms of weather, climate, and geophysics. I've gone from Tampico, to Puebla, to Iowa 🌽🇺🇸 , to the Australian Capital Territory 🇦🇺

🔬 Current Work

• Role: Computational Scientist at NCI in Canberra, Australia
• Collaborations: Working with ACCESS-NRI, NOAA, and research groups across Australia
• Focus Areas: Weather & climate modelling, geophysical systems, and high-performance computing (HPC)

🖥️ Technical Interests

• Massively parallel architectures & HPC, especially with compiled languages:
  Fortran (my favorite), C, C++ (despite our differences!)
• Making GPU acceleration accessible from Fortran, and exploring its capabilities as far as possible

🛠️ Skills

• HPC & Supercomputing
• Molecular Quantum Chemistry
• Climate and weather simulation
• Scientific programming: Fortran, C/C++, Julia, Python
• Performance optimization

🎯 Goals

• Break new ground in GPU-for-Fortran workflows
• Become the expert in Fortran in the Southern Hemisphere
• Win another Gordon Bell prize

🧑‍🎨 Hobbies & Fun Facts

• Reading, running, and cycling
• Painting Warhammer 40k miniatures (Sisters, and Emperor's Children)
• Playing Magic: The Gathering (I play Selvala, Heart of the Wilds; and Godzilla)
• I really dislike Python (but respect it)
