Dion Häfner

Dion Häfner has a diverse work experience in the field of scientific research and software development. They started their career in 2015 as a Research Assistant at the Institute of Environmental Physics, where they worked as a programmer on a numerical software suite. Their responsibilities included specification, implementation, testing, and deployment using C++, Python, and Git.

In 2017, Dion joined the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen as a Scientific Assistant. During this time, they developed a high-performance ocean model in Python, taking charge of the entire implementation process, including numerics, simulation framework, quality assurance, and documentation.

Dion also worked as a Software Development Specialist at DHI from September 2017 to December 2018.

Currently, Dion is employed at Pasteur Labs & ISI, starting in 2022. They hold the position of a Senior Research Engineer, focusing on building efficient and scalable software for advancements in simulation intelligence (SI). This entails various areas like differentiable programming, earth systems simulation, machine learning, probabilistic machine learning, simulation-based inference, and causal machine learning. They also previously held the role of a Research Engineer at this company, where they were involved in similar activities.

Overall, Dion Häfner's work experience showcases their expertise in scientific research, software development, and their ability to work with multiple programming languages and tools.

Dion Häfner's education history started in 2011 when they enrolled at Heidelberg University and pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics. This program lasted for four years, and they successfully completed it in 2015.

In 2013, Dion Häfner attended KTH Royal Institute of Technology for a year. During this time, they studied in the School of Engineering, although no degree was specified for this period.

In 2015, Dion Häfner returned to Heidelberg University, where they pursued a Master of Science degree in Physics. This program spanned from 2015 to 2017, encompassing two years of coursework and research.

Additionally, in 2015 and 2016, Dion Häfner spent some time at Københavns Universitet (University of Copenhagen), focusing on Physical Oceanography. Although no degree was mentioned for this period, they gained knowledge and expertise in this field.

Finally, Dion Häfner embarked on their highest level of education in 2018 when they joined Københavns Universitet (University of Copenhagen) again. This time, they pursued a rigorous Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Physics. This program is expected to last until 2022, culminating in the completion of their doctoral thesis.
