Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimo Koch is a Junior Professor and researcher with 12 years’ experience at the intersection of computational engineering, porous-media fluid mechanics, and brain physiology, currently based in Oslo and appointed at the University of Stuttgart. He held a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowship at UiO and combines strong numerical-methods expertise with research software engineering to tackle multi-physics, multi-domain problems. Timo’s work spans open-source research software development and applied modelling in porous media, bringing rigorous PhD-level engineering training (summa cum laude) to interdisciplinary life-sciences questions. He actively seeks collaborative projects that bridge scientific computing and medical imaging, translating complex theory into reproducible, usable tools. An often overlooked strength is his proven ability to navigate both academia and research engineering roles, moving fluently between theory, code, and experimental applications.
