Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelix Schill is a Co-Founder and CTO with 13+ years of experience building robotic sensing systems and leading applied research from university labs to commercial products. He holds a PhD in Computer Science for work on distributed communication in swarms of autonomous underwater vehicles and has extended that expertise to collision avoidance for aerial swarms and real-time autopilot design. At Hydromea he directs the engineering of swarms of autonomous underwater robots that deliver high-resolution physical and chemical water sensing, combining software, embedded electronics, and composite mechanical design. His background spans ad-hoc network protocols, real-time systems, and hands-on fabrication including 3D printing and custom electronics. Felix is also an active developer in visualization tooling—contributing interactive line-editing and UI features to the Vispy project—demonstrating a knack for both low-level systems and user-facing interaction. Based in Lausanne, he blends rigorous academic methods with product-focused engineering to turn swarm robotics research into deployable environmental services.
