Ing. Ladislav Vargovčík, PhD. je absolventom Technickej univerzity v Košiciach (1978), kde v roku 2012 získal titul PhD v oblasti servisnej robotiky.

Do roku 2015 pracoval v priemyselnom výskume (ZTS VVU KOSICE a.s.) ako hlavný konštruktér, obchodný riaditeľ a projektový manažér. V súčasnosti pôsobí na SjF TUKE ako riaditeľ Prototypového a inovačného centra so zameraním na robotiku a výrobné systémy.

Ako projektový manažér sa podieľal na riešení 6 medzinárodných projektov v 7.RP a H2020 zameraných na servisnú a priemyselnú robotiku.

V pozícii projektového manažéra sa v období 2001 až 2015 podieľal na riešení 6 projektov pre CERN v Ženeve. Z nich hneď prvý bol v roku 2005 ocenený zlatou plaketou „Golden Hadron“ za najlepšiu dodávku pre CERN.

V európskej robotickej platforme euRobotics je vedúcim odbornej skupiny Harsh Environment Robotics

V OECD NEA je členom expertnej skupiny pre aplikáciu robotiky pri vyraďovaní jadrových elektrární.

V rámci euRobotics pôsobí ako národný koordinátor slovenskej časti Európskeho týždňa robotiky (2011-dodnes)
