Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarl Bedrich is a CTO and former postdoctoral researcher with 13 years of experience specializing in electroluminescence imaging, image quality enhancement, and ageing of photovoltaic modules. He has translated deep academic expertise—including a PhD focused on uncertainty in EL imaging—into commercial aerial, AI-driven inspection products for large-scale PV plants. At Quantified Energy he leads technology strategy while also contributing hands-on to scientific visualization open-source work (notably enhancements to the widely used pyqtgraph library). His background spans experimental measurement, CFD and electron-beam control software, and production-grade imaging pipelines, giving him rare end-to-end fluency from lab metrology to deployed inspection systems. Based in Singapore, he combines rigorous research methods with pragmatic product delivery to reduce uncertainty in PV diagnostics at scale.
