Martin Weigt

Computational biophysicist (Sorbonne Université, per the originating capture's attribution — not independently re-verified this session) working on statistical-inference methods for protein coevolution, including Direct Coupling Analysis. He matters to this vault as co-author, with Edwin Rodriguez Horta, of the first primary check the vault holds on whether phylogenetic sampling bias explains DCA's known weakness at long-range contact prediction — a direct methodological complement to the vault's existing Bravi/Wyart DCA-epistasis cluster, though the two research lines are otherwise independent.
