Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Duecker is a Chief of Engineering and senior research scientist at TUM’s Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence with a decade of experience turning underwater robotics research into deployable systems. He leads cross-functional engineering teams, defines long-term roadmaps, and oversees labs and research IT to scale prototypes into robust field-ready platforms. His work spans AI-driven mobile robots, multi-robot localization, and infrastructure-free underwater sensing—achievements validated by field trials at MIT and over €700k in secured project funding. A former award-winning doctoral researcher and educator, he also builds hands-on testbeds and remote labs that accelerate student training and industry partnerships. Notably, he blends deep technical expertise in ROS/MOOS-IvP and control systems with strategic program building, making him as comfortable in the lab deploying AUVs as in the boardroom shaping institute growth.
