Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFujun Du is a research fellow in Ann Arbor with 12 years of experience applying physics, mathematics, and advanced coding (Python, C/C++, Fortran, Matlab) to computational astrophysics and data-driven modeling. He builds and optimizes numerical solvers, Monte Carlo and ray-tracing pipelines, and publication-quality visualization, and has fixed a numerical bug used broadly by the astronomy community. His background spans telescope operations—where he increased observation throughput by 25% and resolved a persistent optical issue—to PhD-level research at Max-Planck Institute, combining hands-on instrumentation insight with robust algorithmic design. Passionate about machine learning and programming languages, he brings a rare blend of theoretical rigor and practical software engineering to real-world scientific problems.
