Walter Winter is a staff member of the theoretical astroparticle group at DESY Zeuthen. He graduated working on neutrino oscillations at TU Munich and he is a co-author of the GLoBES (General Long Baseline Experiment Simulator software). After a postdoctoral stay at Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA, he went to Würzburg university leading a Emmy Noether, and later Heisenberg research group. In 2014 he joined DESY as staff member, where his research now encompasses theoretical neutrino physics and astrophysics, broadly defined. In 2015, he received an ERC consolidator grant for his project "neutrinos and the origin of cosmic rays", investigating the origin of cosmic rays and neutrinos if cosmic rays are heavier than protons.
