Adam Dobbs is a software engineer with 14 years’ experience applying C++ and Python to scientific and engineering problems, currently developing electromagnetic finite element solutions (OperaFEA) for Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. He holds a PhD in High Energy Physics from Imperial College London and spent five postdoctoral years on the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment, bringing rigorous research habits to production code and CI-driven workflows (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub). Comfortable bridging academia and industry, he pairs domain knowledge in electromagnetic simulation with practical backend engineering. He also invests in education practice—holding a PGCert in University Learning and Teaching and twice awarded for excellence in teaching—so he’s fluent in mentoring and clear technical communication. Outside work he’s an avid reader, photographer and committed church community volunteer, reflecting a collaborative, service-oriented mindset. Based in Cherwell District, UK, he blends deep scientific expertise with pragmatic software delivery to advance complex simulation products.
