Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAugustin Bussy is a research software engineer at CSCS/ETH Zürich with eight years of experience bridging physics research and high-performance scientific software. Trained as a physicist with a PhD from the University of Zurich and master’s work at EPFL, he has focused on method development and HPC implementations for computational quantum chemistry. His background spans academia and applied projects—from postdoctoral research and PhD method work to web development for scientific visualization—so he comfortably moves between algorithm design, performant code, and user-facing tools. At CSCS he applies this blend to scale scientific models on advanced compute platforms, bringing both domain insight and production-grade engineering. Colleagues value him for turning complex numerical methods into efficient, maintainable code rather than treating research and software as separate pursuits.
