Senior🎓
Top SchoolBernd Doser is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience applying high-performance C++ and modern software engineering practices to scientific research projects. Trained as a theoretical chemist (PhD, University of Tübingen), he uniquely bridges domain science—quantum chemistry, crystal structure prediction, force-field generation—and production-grade, template-driven C++ design. At HITS he has led the introduction of robust engineering workflows and HPC techniques across diverse scientific groups, translating research needs into maintainable, high-performance software. Previously at Avant-Garde Materials Simulation he built generic, validated components for industry use, and his background in numerical simulation informs a pragmatic, correctness-first approach. Based in Heidelberg, he also pursues creative side projects (creator of BrainTwister), signaling a taste for puzzles and reusable tooling beyond his day job.
