Founder of Fotokite, recovering academic
Hi there! I founded Perspective Robotics, the Swiss company behind the Fotokite. Previous to that I worked in aerospace and participated in robotics competitions such as Robocup and the DARPA Grand+Urban Challenges (autonomous cars). I hold a BS in Elec & Comp Engineering from Cornell and a MS + PhD in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zurich (topic: aerial robotics). I'm also a TED Fellow, TED2014. I'm passionate about building devices that are usable and useful in the real world.
