Victor is Vice President for AI & Data in Bosch's Cross-Domain Computing Solutions, where he is shaping the next generations of AI systems. His work includes advancing domain-specific foundation models for automotive through some of the most extensive training efforts in the company’s history, AI-defined vehicles, and pushing the boundaries of agentic AI architectures that unify cloud intelligence with embedded systems, among others.

He is an experienced leader with an MIT and NASA research background in artificial intelligence, data science, software engineering, and parallel computing. Prior to his current role, he was the Global Head of Software at Bosch Sensortec, where he helped pioneer AI innovations in mobile devices, wearables, AR/VR, IoT, and environmental applications. Notably, software originating from that organization powers the inertial sensor of the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter—the first aircraft to achieve powered flight on another planet.

Prior to Bosch, Victor has led a data science group at MIT advancing computer-aided discovery and artificial intelligence methods (a field which the community now calls "AI aided discovery"). He served as a principal investigator in NASA's prestigious Advanced Information Systems Technology program. He also co-authored two of the first articles on imaging the event horizon of a black hole; advanced automated landing site selection on Mars and on the Moon; developed computer-aided discovery methods for planets beyond our solar system, as well as for Earth observation and geophysical phenomena (e.g., volcanoes, earthquakes, groundwater, ionosphere). Victor’s software has been included in the Arctic Vault, a project aiming to preserve information 250 meters deep in permafrost for one thousand years.

Victor earned a Habilitation degree in Computer Science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, where his work advanced software engineering and machine learning for parallel systems programming. From the University of Karlsruhe he earned from the business school a doctorate in business with distinction (Dr.rer.pol.) in the area of digital products. From the University of Münster, Germany, he received a Diplom degree (M.S.) in Business Computer Science best of class and a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems (BScIS).
