Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSimon Lenz is an IT and software developer with ten years of experience bridging academic research and applied engineering, currently building software at Lucky Data GmbH while lecturing at HSB Hochschule Bremen. He holds a PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Bristol and an MPhil from Cambridge, bringing deep domain knowledge in biology to software projects—especially those involving simulation, 3D modeling and tooling. His background includes developing Blender add-ons, robot design toolchains and VR/CGI project leadership at DFKI, and C/C++ and Python work on rendering and pipeline tooling for blendFX. Colleagues know him for turning scientific problems into reproducible software solutions and for teaching programming and statistics to university students. An uncommon blend of biomimetics, hands-on robotics modeling and production software development gives him a strong cross-disciplinary edge for projects at the intersection of computation, visualization and life sciences.
