Summary
Lorenz Gärtner is a science and technology advisor with a PhD in particle physics and eight years of experience translating frontier research into actionable policy for stakeholders across academia, industry, and government. Currently advising a Member of the German Bundestag on energy, economic policy, and emerging technologies, he combines deep technical expertise in high-energy physics, Bayesian statistics and simulation with practical software development and scientific-software stewardship. His PhD work produced a novel, model-agnostic likelihood method and a maintained software package for reinterpreting particle-physics results, and he has lectured at CERN and coordinated multinational projects at the IAEA. Comfortable bridging lab, codebase and policy, he also brings non-obvious crisis-management and team-leadership skills honed as a paramedic and early-career representative in large collaborations.
