Summary
Mauro Iazzi is a Senior Software Engineer at Google with 18 years of technical experience and a strong academic foundation as a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. He transitioned from a research-focused postdoc at ETH Zurich into industry, bringing deep expertise in mathematical modeling, computational physics, and scientific tooling (LaTeX, Lua) to large-scale software problems. His background enables him to bridge complex numerical methods and production engineering, making him comfortable both with prototyping research-grade simulations and shipping reliable systems at scale. Based in Zurich, he combines rigorous theoretical training from Scuola Normale Superiore and SISSA with practical software craftsmanship at a top-tier tech company, a mix that often surfaces in elegant, physics-informed approaches to engineering challenges.
