Jascha Grübel is an Assistant Professor for Data Science Systems with a decade of experience at the intersection of IoT, VR/AR, experiment design, and machine learning to decode spatial human behaviour and improve urban livability. He has led digital twin initiatives for national mobility systems and architects the Open Digital Twin Platform, blending rigorous systems engineering with applied behavioural science. His work spans academia and industry—from developing AR educational games and open-source VR experiment frameworks to building dense indoor sensor networks and fused twins. Jascha bridges disciplines to inform policy and design, translating experimental insights into actionable urban interventions. Based in Vienna, he combines a strong ETH Zurich research pedigree (PhD) with practical deployment experience across international labs and institutes. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of turning complex spatial data and immersive technologies into reproducible, policy-relevant tools rather than just academic prototypes.
