Jan Gukelberger is a Senior Research Software Development Engineer at Microsoft with 12 years of experience bridging computational quantum physics and production-grade software. Trained with a Doctor of Sciences in Theoretical Physics from ETH Zurich and a Diplom in Physics from the University of Stuttgart, he transitioned postdoctoral research on quantum many-body simulations into engineering work since joining Microsoft in 2017. He combines deep numerical modeling expertise with practical engineering to deliver research-oriented software tools that scale beyond prototypes. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, Jan is comfortable navigating both academic and industrial settings and brings a habit of turning complex theoretical problems into maintainable code and reproducible workflows. An inclination toward open, verifiable science informs his approach, making him as fluent in algorithmic formulation as in software engineering practices.
