Summary
Ediz Herkert is a photonics researcher and scientific software engineer with nine years of experience bridging experimental optics and computational modeling. Currently a postdoctoral researcher at ICFO, he focuses on applied spectroscopy of 2D materials and previously completed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie PhD project designing and characterizing plasmonic nanostructures for single-molecule studies. He combines hands-on optics (STED/MINFLUX, plasmonic sensors) with full-stack scientific software development in Python and Matlab, and has industrial experience in real-time sensor fusion and thermal modeling. Ediz has a strong academic record across Stuttgart, UPC and KTH, graduating top of his class in Photonic Engineering, and routinely communicates results through Q1 journals and public-facing media. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex physical systems into reproducible computational models and deployable experimental designs. Based in Barcelona, he brings a rare mix of experimental craftsmanship and production-grade scientific computing.
