Hi 👋, I’m Leo, a Robotics & AI master’s student at the Technical University of Munich working as a research engineer on humanoid robotics. I’m currently writing my thesis with Foundation, a Silicon Valley-based humanoid startup, where I’m advancing language-guided multifingered manipulation with foundation models. My mission is to enable safe and reliable humanoid autonomy in human environments for the benefit of humanity, and to leave the world better than I found it.
Previously, I worked as an AI/ML research intern at BMW and completed the Siemens mentoring programme. I’ve contributed to multiple academic research projects, spanning safe human-robot collaboration (IEEE T-RO), neuromorphic computing for tactile sensing, and spatial perception for navigation (SLAM). I’m experienced in C++, Python, and PyTorch for developing AI-driven robotics and machine learning applications.
I have an international background: of Asian heritage, born in Norway, and raised in Germany. Outside of work, I enjoy practicing calisthenics and jogging, reading philosophy, and writing poetry.
