# Denis Tudor > Expert I’m Denis Tudor, a passionate innovator in sustainable mobility and the co-founder and CEO of Swisspod Technologies, a Swiss-American company pioneering Hyperloop transportation. My journey in revolutionizing high-speed travel began with multiple victories in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition (2016–2018), where I earned first place for innovative capsule design and third for top speed in 2018, alongside a prestigious design award at the Dubai Global Hyperloop Competition. As the first person in the world to earn a PhD in Hyperloop from EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), my dissertation, “Optimal Design Operation Strategies of a Hyperloop Transportation System,” advanced energy-efficient propulsion and scalable system designs, laying the groundwork for practical Hyperloop solutions. I’ve raised over $20 million for Swisspod, enabling us to build cutting-edge testing facilities in Switzerland and Colorado, including the largest Hyperloop test track on a U.S. Army base. I’ve led Swisspod to set a world record for the longest Hyperloop mission. Our patented electromagnetic propulsion and levitation systems are set to transform not only Hyperloop but also space launchers and high-speed railways, minimizing infrastructure costs while maximizing efficiency. Driven by a vision for a sustainable future, I’m committed to making high-speed, eco-friendly transportation a global reality. ## Offerings - Video call (15 min): $200.00 ## Links - [Expert profile](/DenisTudor) - [Avatar](https://media.intro.co/avatars/1335437BunSAeud.jpg) - [Marketplace](/marketplace)
