Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulian Nubert is a curiosity-driven roboticist and co-founder currently leading perception at Flexion Robotics, with nine years of experience at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and control. He completed a doctoral track at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck ETH Center, focusing on robust perception for walking and autonomous construction robots, and augmented his research with applied stints at Meta Reality Labs, NASA JPL, and AWS. Julian blends deep academic rigor—doctoral research and visiting roles at Caltech/JPL—with hands-on product and startup experience, shipping perception systems that bridge simulation and the real world. He has a strong foundation in electrical engineering and controls from ETH Zürich and an entrepreneurial bent fostered by Climate-KIC and international study, making him as comfortable prototyping sensors and algorithms as he is shaping a robotics company. An understated but telling detail: his trajectory repeatedly alternates between high-impact research fellowships and industry internships, reflecting a persistent drive to translate cutting-edge ideas into deployable systems.
