Laurenz Sommerlad

Hey, I am Laurenz and lead the amazing team behind the AI E-LAB. My journey began at a young age, building my first software projects at 12 and founding a student-led startup at 15. These early experiences paved the way for my burning passion in AI, Robotics and Entrepreneurship. Here is a quick overview of my academic achievements and work: - Ranked in the Top 2% at TUM Department of Computer Science and achieved an Abitur GPA of 1.0 - Conducting research at LMU Hospital to predict rare child diseases using federated learning-based Graph ML techniques on patient phenotypes, genes, and proteins - Developing perception and path planning software for an Autonomous Mars Rover participating in International Rover Competitions with WARR Space Robotics, while also leading Partner & Sponsors | PR & Marketing subteams - Over 2+ years of work experience as a Software Engineer in Full-Stack web-based applications (working student) Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoy doing a lot of different sports like weight training, martial arts (Wing Chun), marathons, technical and cave diving, wakeboarding, snowboarding, and preparing for my first Ironman. I am also in love with traveling, exploring foreign cultures and learning languages including French, Spanish, Japanese & Arabic which continues to enrich my life. Driven by a desire to make the world a better place, I am committed to solving the most challenging problems with technology. Feel free to reach out — I am always up for a coffee and a good conversation! ☕
