Michael Adams is a physicist-turned-software-savvy system engineer with 10 years' experience at the intersection of optical metrology, data science and instrumentation. Currently developing process analytics and NIR spectroscopy solutions at Polytec, he combines deep experimental know-how—from building transient-absorption spectrometers to automating pico- to microsecond measurements—with practical software skills in Python, LabVIEW and MATLAB. Prior roles include coordinating and implementing front-end Python visualisations for the EveryoneCounts COVID mobility dashboard and data-driven transport analysis at KIT, reflecting a knack for translating complex measurements into actionable visual insights. He holds an MSc in Physics (1.1) and a Dr.-Ing. in Electrical Engineering (magna cum laude), and has first-author publications on novel thin-film photophysics. Unusually for someone in metrology, he pairs rigorous lab instrumentation expertise with production-oriented Python tooling and a clear interest in making data exploration accessible. Located in Karlsruhe, he thrives where applied physics, software and real-world process analytics meet.
