Leo currently serves as the Head of Data Science at BUCHI Labortechnik. He has dedicated his scientific career to developing optical spectroscopy systems aimed at the cost-effective and time-efficient chemical assessment of environmental and agricultural resources. These sensing technologies can generate vast amounts of data, requiring sophisticated analysis to extract meaningful insights that are critical for effective resource management. Chemometrics has been a foundational tool in optical spectroscopy, focusing primarily on statistical methods. However, as the field of Data Science advances, there is a growing recognition of the need to integrate more modern approaches. Leo believes that the smart integration of Data Science with optical spectroscopy will accelerate technological advancements and expand the adoption of these tools in soil science. His ultimate goal is to make soil spectroscopy simple, accessible, and widely operational, transforming the assessment of environmental and agricultural resources. He is co-leader of the Soil Spectroscopy Workshop II.
