Summary
Michael Hadmack is a Senior Scientist with 15 years of experience designing and stabilizing advanced photonic and accelerator systems, currently applying his expertise at Oceanit in Hawaii. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics and built his career around free-electron lasers, inverse-Compton x-ray sources, and precision electron-beam instrumentation, blending optics, electro-optics, and FPGA/software control systems. His work spans hands-on optomechanical design, vacuum optical transport, RF and Pound–Drever–Hall stabilization, and custom electronics for beam diagnostics—often mentoring students and translating lab prototypes into robust systems. Known for solving stability and alignment problems across lasers and accelerators, he combines deep experimental physics with practical programming (Python) to automate and optimize complex measurement chains.
