Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Landriau is a physicist and Principal Scientific Engineering Associate based in Berkeley with nine years of focused experience in mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, and data-driven analysis for large astronomical surveys. He leads Mayall Telescope scientific operations for the DESI survey and previously served as a project scientist shaping spectroscopic and imaging survey pipelines. His background spans hands-on survey planning, survey simulation, 2D spectral extraction, and telescope control system development from roles at Berkeley Lab, McDonald Observatory, Max Planck, and major postdocs. Trained with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics and an M.A.St. in mathematics from Cambridge, he uniquely blends rigorous theory with practical software engineering for complex observational projects. Colleagues rely on him to turn complex cosmology and instrumentation requirements into reliable, production-grade analysis and operational tools. An understated strength is his sustained cross-institutional experience translating cutting-edge research needs into robust survey operations.
