Leonard Schrage

Hi, I run Living Systems (opens in new tab) and am a research affiliate at MIT (opens in new tab) and Northeastern (opens in new tab). I studied at MIT, Harvard, the AA, and TUM.

Portrait of Leonard Schrage

I am interested in translating complex environmental observations into deployed systems for climate-informed decision making.

In practice, I build computational tools that help generate essential data for sustainable development, break down systemic complexity, and inform design and policy interventions. My work integrates human-computer interaction, software engineering, geospatial data science and visualisation, machine learning, computer vision, and high-performance computing.

Previously, I started Material Guide and 1×1, following a decade of building digital products for NGOs, start-ups, corporates, and governments. Clients and collaborators include WWF, WHO, Microsoft Research, Intel, and SAP.
