Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcel Walter is a Senior Quantum Software Engineer and postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience at the intersection of nanotechnology, design automation, and formal methods. He focuses on closing the design gap between emerging Field-coupled Nanotechnologies (QCA, NML, SiDB) and classical CMOS, combining hands-on tool development with experimental proof-of-concept implementations. Marcel authored the fiction framework (available on his GitHub) to accelerate research prototyping and has contributed compatibility and functionality improvements to established C++ logic libraries like mockturtle. His background spans quantum computing, reversible logic, digital microfluidic biochips, optical circuits, and DNA computing, underpinned by a summa cum laude PhD from Universität Bremen. He has held roles from PhD researcher to substitute professor and now balances industry R&D at MQSC with academic research at TUM. Outside work he pursues martial arts, travel, and photography, bringing a disciplined yet creative perspective to complex engineering problems.
