Kuang-yu Chang is a software engineer at Google with 11 years of experience bridging advanced research and production software in the semiconductors and computational chemistry domains. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Basel and blends deep quantitative skills with practical engineering in Python and C/C++. His background includes postdoctoral research and research roles in academia, giving him strong foundations in quantum chemistry and complex numerical methods. Based in Wädenswil, Zurich, he applies research-grade rigor to scalable software problems, particularly those requiring scientific modeling or algorithmic precision. Colleagues value his ability to move ideas from theoretical formulation to robust code in large-scale engineering environments. An uncommon strength is his simultaneous fluency in mathematics, physics and software engineering, enabling him to tackle cross-disciplinary challenges end-to-end.
