Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Kummer is a computational scientist and software engineer finishing a PhD in computer science with 14 years of research and teaching experience spanning computational/theoretical neuroscience, biophysics, and materials synthesis. He combines strong quantitative foundations (BS in Physics, math minor) with practical software skills—full-stack game front-end work, large-scale deep learning, GROMACS simulations, and real-time computer vision tools for neurosurgery. At the University of Florida he has led diverse projects from approximating multidimensional spike response filters and training biologically inspired spiking networks to exploring rAAV combinatorial spaces for gene therapy. Equally comfortable teaching algorithms, systems, and security courses, he seeks roles in computational science, fintech, or software engineering where simulation, signal reconstruction, or complex data-driven modeling are central. An underrated strength is his ability to bridge lab-grade experimental work (SEM/TEM/CVD/XRD) with deployable software—turning domain science into production-ready tools.
