Julian Glatzer

Julian Glatzer is data and software engineer with a focus on data-intensive software development. In the past he worked as a physicist with a focus on the analysis of petabyte-size datasets and the development of new prototypes at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. During his work at ATLAS he became an expert in data analysis, including machine learning methods and distributed computing resources (cloud and grid computing). Julian primarily works with Java and has experience with Python and C++. He has a special interest in mathematical and statistical modelling.

Julian is motivated by new challenges and enjoys to familiarize himself with novel technical topics. He appreciates the work in teams that are both diverse culturally and from the professional background of the members.
