Leo grew up in the 90s tech bubble in Lithuania, a newly reclaimed independent country. His fascination with the universe led him to study physics at the University of Oxford, including summer for a research internship at UCLA. He also worked at The Princeton Plasma Physics Lab on an educational remote plasma discharge experiment and interned in condensed matter at Columbia University. His fascination with space brought him back to UCLA for a doctoral degree, focusing on the magnetospheric standing waves generated at Saturn and Earth, which tells us a lot about the dynamics, energy transfer, and the ion composition of the respective planets.
He’s now teaching a seminar at UCLA called Unsolved Mysteries of the Universe, which focuses on the most important unresolved problems in physics and sciences in general. Starting with the arrow of time, dark matter, and the absurd weirdness of quantum mechanics, he also leads discussions on chaos, complexity, and emergent phenomena that are so useful in condensed matter physics, and perhaps, even AGI, life, and consciousness- whatever that might be. His hope is that the upcoming science and tech will make a more informed society that, in turn, will make us more tolerant of one another and more productive in meaningful ways.
