Josef Fulem is a Senior Technology Architect with 9 years of professional experience and a PhD in Chemical Engineering, combining deep domain expertise in vehicle and engine systems with strong skills in AI, agent-based simulation, and mathematical modeling. He has led development of Modelica libraries and vehicle simulation tools at Ricardo and contributed route-planning algorithms for autonomous agricultural vehicles on GitHub, bridging academic rigor with practical open-source impact. His work spans CFD, system optimization, and complex systems simulation, implemented across languages including Java, Python, C/C++, Fortran and Modelica. More recently as an independent consultant he applies machine learning and motion planning to robotics, cardiac ablation visualization and PLC/RC systems, demonstrating unusual cross-disciplinary fluency. Josef pairs hands-on programming with systems thinking—designing optimization and decision tools that translate physics-based models into deployable software. Based in Úvaly, Czechia, he is equally at home prototyping CFD modules and deploying ML-driven ECG solutions, often combining simulation-based insight with production-ready engineering.
