Dr. Patrik Schürch 

Patrik obtained his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science from EPFL, Lausanne. During this Ph.D. at EMPA in Thun, he focused on template-assisted electrodeposition and 3D electrodeposition simulation. Now, his goal is to support the team with this previously gained knowledge and to further improve and innovate 3D additive manufacturing by electrochemical means.

In his spare time, Patrik enjoys skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and floorball. If he can't be found doing sports, he’s playing board games and enjoys cooking.

Dr. Thomas Lincke 

Thomas obtained his PhD in Software Engineering from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He has work experience as a senior software developer in both the semiconductor and financial industries. His goal is to optimize the print algorithms and to give Exaddon customers the best possible control over the print process.

In his spare time he builds robots, tinkers with 3D printers, and likes to solve both new and ancient puzzles.

Francesco Colangelo

Francesco earned his PhD at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, followed by postdoctoral work at the Quantum Photonic Group at ETH Zurich. At Exaddon he leverages his broad knowledge and experience in physics and nanotechnology to optimize and scale the 3D printing process.

In his spare time, Francesco enjoys hiking with friends and outdoor activities. He is fascinated by neuroscience discussions and he can be also found composing electronic music.

Matthieu Proffit

Matthieu obtained his two MScs in mechanical engineering and physics from the INSA of Lyon and the Trinity College of Dublin. He wants to understand complex systems that require a multidisciplinary approach, and leverages his knowledge in physics and mechanics to further improve the reliability of Exaddon's 3D printing process. 

When not at work, Matthieu is either playing piano, racing a triathlon, or training for the next one!

Claudia Schumacher 

As Exaddon's accountant, Claudia is responsible for all of our bookkeeping, processing all supplier and sales invoices as well as salaries. Her extensive accountancy experience means she always has the right answer to any questions.
