Victor currently serves as the Vice President for AI & Data in Bosch's Cross-Domain Computing Solutions area. He is an experienced leader with MIT and NASA research background in artificial intelligence, data science, software engineering, and parallel computing. Prior to that he was the global head of software at Bosch Sensortec, breaking new ground in AI in mobile devices, wearables, AR/VR, IoT, and environmental applications. Fun fact: The software for the inertial sensor on the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter - the first helicopter to fly on another planet- also originates from this department. 

Prior to Bosch, Victor has led a data science group at MIT advancing computer-aided discovery and artificial intelligence methods. 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).
