Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominik Baack is a physicist and systems engineer with 12 years of experience at Technische Universität Dortmund, blending physics, computer science and high-performance computing to accelerate simulation workflows. He began by applying segmentation and machine-learning methods to Cherenkov telescope data, then implemented algorithmic and technical improvements in the widely used CORSIKA simulation that reduced runtimes by up to 100x for some experiments. Currently he pursues a PhD while working on further cuts in compute time and energy costs through hardware acceleration with FPGAs, GPUs and vectorization, and also supports university infrastructure as a systems administrator. Known for turning computationally intensive research needs into practical, production-ready optimizations, he pairs deep domain knowledge with hands-on engineering to make large-scale simulations tractable.
