Top SchoolMichael Gafert is a Junior Research Engineer specializing in energy systems and human-centered interfaces with nine years of experience prototyping across hardware and software—from microcontrollers and rapid 3D-printed hardware to web, desktop and VR applications. At AIT he combines PV, inverter and battery testing with laboratory automation and interactive UIs, owning solutions from field-level embedded code to user-facing analysis tools. He’s driven by the aesthetics and craft of prototypes at any stage, and has shipped funded research and commercial projects in industrial and automotive contexts that blend XR for situational awareness. A frequent educator and tutor, he brings hands-on teaching experience in assistive technologies, embedded systems and app development, and runs a side practice focused on fast, accessible custom web design. Notably, he bridges experimental research and practical deployment, soldering the hardware he tests while building the software that makes it usable.
