Summary
Hung-jin Huang is an Analog Mix-Signal Modeling Software Engineer at Apple with a PhD in Physics and nine years of experience applying statistical and machine learning methods to large-scale astrophysical problems. He blends rigorous Bayesian and Monte Carlo inference with modern deep learning (CNNs, ViTs, VAEs, GANs) to accelerate scientific pipelines and extract more information from noisy data—work that yielded a ~20% improvement in parameter constraints equivalent to a large increase in telescope time. Comfortable in Python, R, SQL and Linux, he has processed tens of terabytes of simulation data, led a 70+ scientist collaboration, published 20+ papers with 500+ citations, and mentored students while teaching ML applications in research. At Apple he now brings that quantitative modeling and software craftsmanship to mixed-signal engineering, combining long-term systematic thinking with careful, reproducible code. An oft-overlooked strength is his ability to translate complex model embeddings into interpretable visualizations, having sampled and analyzed feature spaces from trained networks to probe what they learn about galaxies.
