About me

Welcome! My name is Thomas Michaelis and as a mechanical engineer I offer tailor-made services in the areas of simulation, measurement and technical consulting. With a degree and several years of experience in research, I am specialized in carrying out precise simulations, taking well-founded measurements and providing advice on complex technical issues.

With my extensive expertise in the analysis and optimization of technical systems, I support companies in developing innovative solutions and implementing their projects efficiently. My focus is always on providing reliable results that not only meet the highest technical standards, but are also practice-oriented and future-proof.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you with my know-how and experience.
