👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Schlegel is a research engineer and data scientist with 11 years of experience applying machine learning, full‑stack data engineering, and open tools development to understand and monitor marine heatwaves and their socio-ecological impacts. He combines hands-on production of data products (databases, R packages, R Shiny apps) with rigorous physical oceanography research, having led WP1 data management for a Horizon2020 project and published widely on MHW drivers. Comfortable from in situ sensors to remote sensing and ML model validation, he prioritises making data not just available but accessible and usable for researchers, managers and the public. An entrepreneurial streak led him to co-found Ecomonitor to translate research outputs into operational tools, while international fieldwork and collaborations underpin his interdisciplinary approach. Based in Nice, France, he blends academic rigor (PhD in Marine Sciences) with product-minded engineering to scale big‑data solutions for the ocean.
