Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEthan Van Woerkom is a doctoral researcher in Helsinki with 11 years of scientific and programming experience at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and astrophysics. His current research focuses on the physics of Fast Radio Bursts, building on a background that includes teaching cosmology at the master’s level and hands-on experimental work in nonlinear dynamics and cosmic-ray detection. A strong C++ and Python developer, he applies algorithmic and data-analysis skills to both research problems and private tutoring for scientific programming. He has experience in energy modelling and academic leadership—organising national physics competitions and managing student society finances—demonstrating both technical depth and practical project management. Notably, his undergraduate REU work on opto-electronic networks led to published conference proceedings, reflecting a long-standing blend of theoretical insight and experimental/numerical implementation.
