Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiklas Götz is a computational physicist-turned-software engineer with 10 years of experience building high-performance simulation and data pipelines for scientific and industrial problems. He recently completed a PhD in Theoretical and Computational Nuclear Physics, combining large-scale HPC simulations of heavy-ion collisions with Bayesian inference, statistical modeling, and machine learning to extract transport coefficients under extreme conditions. Equally comfortable in Python and C++, he has a proven track record of shipping robust, well-tested scientific software and automated quality-control systems that are widely used in his field. His background includes introducing generative ML methods into high-energy physics and packaging them for non-experts, reflecting a talent for turning advanced research into practical tools. Fluent in French and experienced mentoring students across interdisciplinary teams, he thrives in multicultural, research-driven environments. Currently at Black Forest Labs, he focuses on large-model data problems that bridge physics-informed modeling and scalable ML engineering.
