Life Sciences Engineering · EPFL
Laidlaw Scholar and aspiring neuroscientist exploring where biology meets engineering — from cognitive neuroscience research to rehabilitation technology.
I am a Life Sciences Engineering undergraduate at EPFL, driven by curiosity about how the brain works — and how engineering can help repair it when it doesn't.
As a Laidlaw Scholar, I completed a full-time research internship at EPFL's Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, studying how the sense of agency shapes episodic memory. That work now extends into my current internship at Roceso Technologies in Singapore, where I design rehabilitation games for soft-robotic hand therapy devices — turning cognitive neuroscience findings into tools that help stroke patients recover.
Earlier experiences shaped the same trajectory from different angles: a hematology internship at Semmelweis University in Budapest showed me the human side of medicine; leading the EPFL Sustainable Innovation Challenge taught me how to build something from nothing with a team; tutoring mathematics, French and philosophy reinforced my conviction that understanding deepens when it is shared.
My long-term ambition sits at the intersection of the clinic, the lab and the venture: neurotechnology that reaches patients.
Laidlaw research internship at EPFL's Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience. I implemented an online experimental application testing whether the feeling of controlling one's actions strengthens episodic memory — contributing to a published finding linking agency and recall.
At Roceso Technologies, I designed a portfolio of rehabilitation game concepts for a hand-tracking device paired with a soft-robotic glove — grounding game mechanics in agency–memory neuroscience, with clinical rationale, reward-system design and competitive analysis.
Led the deconfounding pipeline in a 48-hour hackathon applying DINOv2 vision transformers to psychiatric patient artworks from the Morgenthaler archive, producing cluster-level findings across diagnoses.
Participated in the Good Food Institute's Academic Research Challenge, working on microbial strain optimization in an international student team.
Challenge Team Lead for Europe's first student-led sustainability forum of its kind. Led challenge design and the selection of teams and jurors over 11 months, culminating in an international final at EPFL with a CHF 20,000 prize pool.
A flashcard-app concept for medical and engineering students combining AI-driven card generation with spaced repetition — an ongoing exploration of learning-science-informed tooling.
