Hannes Vasyura-bathke is a Lead SAR Engineer based in Potsdam with 11 years of experience at the intersection of geophysics and software development, specializing in InSAR processing, deformation source modeling, and data visualization. He holds a PhD magna cum laude in Geophysics and has progressed from postdoctoral research and teaching to leading applied SAR engineering at SkyGeo, with prior R&D roles at GFZ and KAUST. Hannes combines domain expertise in seismic and geodetic inversion with practical software engineering—having contributed backend features to the widely used PyMC probabilistic programming library, including a custom ATMCMC sampler. He builds production-ready tools informed by academic rigor, and his background in fast neural approaches for seismic waveform analysis gives him a rare mix of machine learning, Bayesian inference, and remote sensing experience.

Contributions summary:Hannes primarily contributed to the development of PyMC3, a Bayesian modeling and probabilistic programming library. Their work focused on implementing new features, such as the Adaptive Transitional Markov Chain Monte Carlo (ATMCMC) sampler, as well as fixing bugs related to discrete index creation. The user demonstrated experience in modifying existing code, specifically in `pymc3/step_methods`, and in the backend framework. They also contributed to plot functionalities.
