Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Zoechbauer is a Machine Learning Engineer with 11 years of experience combining deep research chops and production software expertise across CERN, ESA, and Google XLA work. He holds a PhD from ETH Zürich and has applied differentiable programming, particle simulations, and nanoplasmonics to practical problems like video super-resolution, demosaicing, and transport simulation. At ESA he now builds ML-driven process improvements, helps deploy HPC infrastructure, and advises leadership on AI strategy, reflecting a rare mix of hands-on R&D and organizational impact. His background spans academic exchanges at Seoul National University and Penn, plus internships and research roles that bridge space, physics, and computer vision. A language nerd and cosmopolite, he brings cross-disciplinary thinking to engineering problems and an unusual depth in both compiler-level ML (XLA) and domain-specific simulation.
