Oliver Keller is a Senior R&D Engineer and applied physicist with 11 years of hands-on experience designing embedded systems, sensor hardware, and physics-grade data analysis tools across industry and large research labs. He moved from researching pixel detectors at CERN and FAIR to building high-throughput inkjet-based manufacturing electronics at Notion Systems while running a long-standing freelance engineering practice delivering custom analog/digital systems. His work sits at the intersection of embedded firmware, analog electronics, and applied physics, often applied to citizen science, music electronics and interactive art—areas he pursues as an instrument developer and performer. Colleagues know him as an entrepreneurial tinkerer who rapidly prototypes open hardware and production-ready electronics, combining experimental rigor from big-science environments with practical product engineering. Based in Heidelberg, he brings a rare blend of academic-grade measurement expertise and startup-speed delivery across interdisciplinary projects.
