Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Witte is a theoretical physicist and researcher supported by a Royal Society University Research Fellowship, specializing in astroparticle phenomenology with ~40 papers and over 2,000 citations. Based in Oxford and active at GRAPPA (University of Amsterdam), he brings a decade of research experience bridging numerical modeling, data analysis, machine learning, and statistics to problems in dark matter and astroparticle physics. He has strong mathematical and software skills—10+ years in Python, 5+ years in Julia, and experience with C++, Fortran, TensorFlow and scikit-learn—used to build production-grade simulations and analysis pipelines. Experienced in mentoring MSc and PhD students and leading collaborative projects across institutions (UCLA, IFIC, Fermilab), he combines deep theoretical insight with practical computational implementation. A subtle strength is his track record of translating abstract theory into testable computational models, reflected in sustained publications and interdisciplinary visiting appointments.
