Leon Schomburg has work experience in various positions. In 2016, they worked as a Wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft at Leibniz Universität Hannover until February 2017. From October 2018 to January 2020, they served as a Werkstudent at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB. In May 2022, they joined planblue as a Software-Entwickler. Currently, they are also pursuing a Promotion at Leibniz Universität Hannover starting in July 2022.
Leon Schomburg began their education at Gymnasium Goetheschule Hannover in 2005 and completed their Abitur in 2013. Leon then attended Leibniz Universität Hannover from 2013 to 2016, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics. Afterward, they pursued further education at the same institution and obtained a Master of Science degree in Physics from 2016 to 2022. Additionally, in 2017 and 2018, Leon briefly studied at Københavns Universitet (University of Copenhagen) in the field of Physics.

PlanBlue offers a new seafloor monitoring technology that is changing the way they map, assess and even understand our seafloor: the “DiveRay” and the accompanying software. The DiveRay is an intelligent underwater camera, that automatically scans seafloor areas, as well as lake bottoms and river beds. It makes use of hyperspectral imaging, and itssoftware is based on machine-learning algorithms. The DiveRay significantly reduces the time spent both below and above water (i.e., monitoring underwater and data analysis/interpretation on land). Any experienced diver can use the DiveRay, it is not limited to experts-only. The rich data obtained by the DiveRay is objective (i.e., independent of the person analyzing the seafloor data) and can easily be compared to future studies.
