Felix is a UK and European Patent Attorney in the chemical and physics sectors. He has specific expertise in atomic, molecular and optical physics, as well as patent drafting and prosecution experience in areas including telecoms, machine learning, electronics, engines, aeronautics, consumer products, and computer implemented inventions.
Prior to joining EIP Felix completed a PhD (summa cum laude) in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He conducted pioneering experimental research into collisions between ions and atoms at ultralow energies. In 2013 he was awarded the Young Author's Prize by the journal Molecular Physics.
Felix holds a first class MSci degree in Chemical Physics from University College London, where he was awarded a prize for his academic achievement.
