Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Väth is a software engineer and mathematician with 16+ years of experience who bridges deep theoretical research and production software, currently working at Google while holding a privatdozent position in mathematics. He has authored six monographs and ~90 refereed papers on nonlinear analysis, PDEs, dynamical systems and applications in morphogenesis, reflecting a rare combination of high-level math and practical problem solving. On the engineering side he is a longtime open-source contributor and systems hacker with expertise in C++, scripting (Perl, Shell, Python), Gentoo Linux tooling and concurrent algorithms. His projects range from package-management tools (eix, mv overlay) and mount schedulers (squashmount) to a multithreaded chess-problem solver and machine-learning experiments, showing hands-on systems design across domains. Notably, he has held prestigious research fellowships (Heisenberg, DAAD to Caltech) and temporary professorships while transitioning complex mathematical insights into robust software. Based in Switzerland, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic engineering to tackle algorithmically challenging, interdisciplinary problems.
