Summary
Felix Wechsler is a PhD researcher at EPFL and a Visiting PhD Student at Stanford specializing in the intersection of optics and computational algorithms, with a focus on volumetric 3D printing that uses light to fabricate objects in seconds. With nine years of experience across academic and industry labs—from adaptive optics and single-molecule localization to light-field microscopy—he combines deep photonics expertise with a computer science background from TUM. He contributes actively to the Julia ecosystem, building open-source tools for the optics community and teaching image processing in microscopy, reflecting a strong commitment to reproducible, community-owned science. Felix has refused for-profit reviewing to advocate for open scientific organization, and when not in the lab he’s often found playing ultimate frisbee or exploring Switzerland by road and gravel bike.
