Markus Scholz is a technology leader and co-founder with 14 years of experience translating academic research in sensing and wireless signal analysis into commercial products and startups. As CTO of DEUS POLLUTRACK and AI Lead at NovelSense, he combines hands‑on principal engineering at TRUMPF with entrepreneurial experience building low-cost, high-performance sensor solutions for smart cities and industrial automation. He holds a PhD from KIT where he led industry collaborations and supervised applied research on radio-based sensing and networked systems. Markus is skilled at bridging R&D and product delivery—turning atypical data sources (e.g., standard wireless signals) into practical IoT sensors—and often operates at the intersection of embedded systems, ML, and real-world deployment. He’s based in Karlsruhe and known for moving proof-of-concept ideas into durable, industry-ready systems.
