Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOier Mees is a robotics and machine learning researcher-turned-lecturer with 15 years of experience bridging academic research and industry innovation, currently teaching "Robot Learning: From Fundamentals to Foundation Models" at ETH Zürich while leading Robot Learning & Foundation Models at Microsoft. He completed a postdoc at Berkeley AI Research (RAIL/BAIR) under Sergey Levine and earned a PhD in Robot Learning from Freiburg, blending deep expertise in control, perception (including Visual SLAM), and learning-based robotics. His background spans internships and research roles at NVIDIA, Fraunhofer, and several European labs, giving him hands-on experience with real-world robotic systems and teleoperation. Known for translating cutting-edge research into curriculum and product directions, he often works at the intersection of foundation models and embodied intelligence—a less obvious thread running through both his teaching and industrial leadership.
