Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHans Wenzel is a retired physics and software professional with over a decade of experience developing simulation, reconstruction, and monitoring software for high energy physics experiments at Fermilab and CERN. He holds a PhD in Physics from RWTH Aachen and spent his career building Geant4-based detector simulations and novel calorimeter, silicon tracking and time-of-flight concepts, alongside tools to improve HPC and grid operations. Proficient in C++, Java, FORTRAN and JavaEE with Postgres backends, he bridges deep physics expertise with practical software engineering to deliver production-grade systems used by experiments such as CDF and CMS. Notably, his work spans both detector R&D and the operational monitoring frameworks that keep large-scale experiments running reliably.
