Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTomas Hillberg is a research engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience applying numerical modelling, image restoration and algorithm development to observational solar physics and industrial imaging problems. Based in Stockholm, he combines a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics with deep C++ and multithreading expertise developed while building spectropolarimetric inversion codes, genetic-algorithm initializers and cluster-processing pipelines. Highly autonomous and fast to learn, Tomas prefers tackling complex, open-ended problems and has a track record of improving data pipelines, tools and user interfaces for long-running scientific instruments. He bridges mechanical/electronics repairs and software maintenance, so he often ships pragmatic solutions that span hardware to high-performance code. An inquisitive analyst by nature, he credits self-directed learning (often via online resources) for much of his programming skill, which makes him effective in both solo and collaborative research settings.
