Biography

Last update: December 2nd, 2023

For my full biography, please refer to my CV.

I am currently a Postdoc at the University of Toronto, working with Prof. Tim Barfoot, which I started in March 2022. Before that, I obtained my PhD from the Laboratory of Audiovisual Communications (LCAV) at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), under the supervision of Prof. Martin Vetterli and Dr. Adam Scholefield.

I hold a Master’s degree of Mechnical Engineering with specialization in control and mechatronics from EPFL. I had the opportunity to conduct my Master’s Thesis at the Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL) at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ), and I performed the third year of my Bachelor studies at the University of Heriot Watt in Edinburgh.

In terms of work experience, I had the chance to conduct internships at Disney Research in Los Angeles, ABB Switzerland and Bystronic Laser AG, Switzerland.

For the past few years, I have also been a proud supporter of a few great initiatives in Switzerland. I led the app development team of the voCHabular project, teaching Swiss German for free via a book and app. I helped GirlsCoding with several workshops and public relations. I also gave a workshop on python coding to the students from the PowerCoders program in Berne and I co-supervised the internship project by one student. I am always looking for opportunities to put my knowledge to use for society, please get in touch if you have any ideas or questions!

I am grateful for receiving the Postdoc.Mobility grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation in 2021, the Women Techmaker Scholarship from Google in 2020, the EDIC fellowship from EPFL for the first year of my PhD in 2016, and the NCCR Robotics Scholarship for Women for my Master’s Thesis.
