A PhD from USC with visiting work at Max Planck and publications across top conferences, he combines deep academic contributions (patents and nominated best-paper work) with hands-on systems delivery at companies like ANYbotics and Meta RL. He co-founded Naska.AI and helped win TechCrunch Disrupt and Nvidia/AWS startup programs, demonstrating both entrepreneurial instinct and product-market traction. Based in Zurich, he’s equally comfortable shipping cloud-based enterprise SaaS and low-level manipulation and perception stacks for robots, a blend that helps bridge lab breakthroughs to deployable systems.
