Summary
Daniel Wang is an algorithms-focused engineer with nine years of hands-on experience applying computational physics, signal processing, and machine learning to real-world defense and scientific problems. Currently joining Johns Hopkins APL as an Algorithms Development Engineer and researching stellarator magnetic-field modeling at UT Austin, he blends simulation-driven physics intuition with practical software engineering on HPC systems. His background includes building a transformer-based multi-object tracking pipeline at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, predictive ambient-noise models validated with field data in Arctic environments, and hardware-oriented electromagnetics work constructing a linear induction motor. Comfortable spanning Matlab, Python, and high-performance compute workflows, he seeks roles at the intersection of physical science and code—especially in aerospace and defense—where modeling fidelity and algorithmic rigor matter. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to move seamlessly between field-validated experimental data and production-ready simulation frameworks.
