He was Head of R&D at Renault (Alpine) F1, where he delivered groundbreaking innovations that helped the team win back-to-back double World Championships.
In 2011, Robin joined the Mercedes F1 team as Chief Scientist and Head of R&D, developing innovations with multi-physics simulation tools and machine learning optimizations, ultimately helping build one of F1’s most successful teams of all time. After two more world titles with Mercedes, Robin joined Bentley Motors as Vehicle Technology Director. He was responsible for the overall simulation strategy and digital twin roadmap, advancing simulation with Ducati MotoGP and across the Volkswagen Group before founding PhysicsX in 2019.
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
