Short Biography
I am currently a Ph.D. student at DISAL working on gas source localization and gas distribution mapping. In 2024, I completed my Master’s degree in robotics at EPFL, focusing especially on mobile robotics. For my master’s thesis, I spent 6 months at the Autonomous Systems Laboratory at ETHZ working on mapping using low-cost sensors and a NeRF based approach. My journey into the world of science and technology started with my Bachelor degree in Microengineering at EPFL in 2020.

Research interests and projects
I am very passionate about sensing, mapping, controlling and optimal decision making in mobile robotics. Thanks to my Ph.D., I can apply these interests to gas source localization and gas distribution mapping while extending them to multi-robot systems.
