Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAymeric Galan is a postdoctoral researcher in observational cosmology with a decade of experience bridging astrophysics, computational physics, and scientific software development. Currently an SNSF fellow at the Université de Genève, he has held postdoc positions at TUM/MPA and EPFL and brings hands-on expertise in C++, Python and numerical simulations applied to large-scale astrophysical problems. Trained at EPFL (MSc and BSc in Physics with a computational minor), he pairs rigorous research with practical engineering—building a Django portfolio site and developing visualization and analysis tools. His background in graphic design and long-term competitive tennis informs a creative, disciplined approach to science communication and collaborative projects. Past roles range from teaching assistantships to industry internships (including a control-systems project at Rolex), giving him a rare mix of academic depth and applied problem-solving. Colleagues value him for translating complex simulations into clear deliverables and for combining aesthetic sensibility with reproducible computational workflows.
