Biography

Jost Migenda is a Senior Research Software Engineer in the e-Research team. Since joining the team in March 2024, they worked on a variety of research software projects ranging from astrophysics to cardiology. They are also teaching courses on topics like programming with Python, version control and high-performance computing.

Before joining the e-Research team, Jost worked at King’s as a Research Associate in the Experimental Particle & Astroparticle Physics group. During that time, they contributed to astrophysics analyses and DAQ development for the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. They also worked on the SNEWS 2.0 network, which brings neutrino physicists and astronomers together to coordinate multi-messenger observations of the next galactic supernova.

Jost received a BSc and MSc in Physics from TU Munich, and a PhD in Astroparticle Physics from the University of Sheffield.
