Johannes Wüthrich is an electronics engineer and experimental physicist with a PhD in elementary particle physics and about a decade of experience designing and characterizing novel particle detection systems. He has blended hands-on detector physics, digital electronics, FPGA development and system administration across academic labs at ETH Zürich, CERN and now the University of Zurich, focusing on instrumentation for cosmology. Johannes combines conceptual system design with practical implementation—ranging from motor controllers for space instruments to FPGA-accelerated telecom simulations and complex detector readout chains. He is comfortable coordinating technical projects and shipping reproducible research, often bridging physics requirements and engineering constraints. Fluent in low-level hardware and software stacks, he brings a pragmatically creative approach to turning experimental concepts into robust instrumentation.
