Dr. Carsten König

Scientific software for complex research systems

I develop reliable software and data workflows for scientific operations – from telescope and instrument software to automated processing pipelines, research data infrastructure, and machine-learning-supported analysis.

My background combines astrophysics, software engineering, and long-term experience with operational research infrastructure.


Scientific operations

Software for telescopes, instruments, data recording, monitoring, and long-lived operational systems.

Data systems

Automated processing and transfer workflows, databases, archives, quality control, and reproducible scientific pipelines.

Research software

Python and Linux development, testing, CI/CD, software modernization, performance optimization, and machine-learning workflows.

Science

My scientific work focuses on Galactic star formation and the interstellar medium. I lead the Outer Galaxy High Resolution Survey (OGHReS), a large survey of the outer Milky Way.
