Former Members

Roughly half of TCP former members hold academic positions in renowned universities and institutions throughout Europe (Luxembourg, France, Germany, Italy), UK, Canada, US, China, and India. The other half hold prominent research positions in industry (Microsoft Research, Google, Siemens, VW) or work in deeptech startup companies. We strongly encourage academic excellence and actively support entrepreneurial spirit. For example, our group is involved as a founder of two deeptech startups.
