Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Willendrup is a senior research engineer and physicist with over two decades of experience building and managing scientific simulation software, currently leading a world‑leading simulation package from Copenhagen. He combines deep mathematical modeling and multi‑language code development with platform‑independent system design and practical project management across large research infrastructures like the European Spallation Source and DTU Fysik. His hands‑on background spans QA and test automation work in community ecosystems (notably improving testing for conda‑forge packages) as well as long tenures developing instrumentation and simulation at national labs. Colleagues know him for bridging rigorous science with pragmatic engineering, and for an unusual mix of social engineering skills that help align interdisciplinary teams and stakeholders.
