Biographical Sketch
Leo was born in 2001 in Hollenstein an der Ybbs, a small mountain village. After graduating with a degree in automation technology from the HTL (Higher Technical Institute), he combined his parents' professions – electrical engineering and physiotherapy – and began studying biomedical engineering. Thanks to his prior knowledge of mechanical engineering, he quickly developed a strong interest in biomechanics and machine learning. In his free time, he enjoys visiting the local bouldering club and can often be found hiking or climbing in the nearby mountains and crags on weekends.
