Automation drives innovation. At NCCR Automation, I see projects like bumper cars evolve through the entire pipeline, thanks to interdisciplinary collaboration.
I completed my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zurich, followed by a Master's in Robotics, Mechatronics, and Control. During my studies, I acquired strong skills in machine design, control systems, and software development for autonomous systems. I've worked extensively on autonomous vehicles, managing both software and hardware aspects. My biggest project to date is with Prof. Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate at DECODE, where I'm currently developing a collision avoidance software for a fleet of bumper cars, requiring seamless integration with the driver—blending advanced technology with user experience.
