Can you tell us a little about yourself?
In 2022, I started working at the Laboratory of atmospheric processes and their impacts (LAPI) in administrative management. It’s very interesting, enriching and enjoyable to work in such a high-performance academic group! My training in administration and tourism enabled me to take my first steps at EPFL. I started at the Laboratory of Electrical Energy Networks (LRE), within the STI Faculty – Faculty of Engineering Sciences and Techniques. I helped organize a major international conference on electromagnetic compatibility in Evian, France. I also worked at EPFL-Alumni, where my main task was to update the computerized database. In 2002, a new Faculty of Life Sciences was created, where I was able to collaborate in the administrative management of a major project to build an animal facility at EPFL for experimental animal research. In October 2021, I took on the administrative management of a new Laboratory at EPFL, the Urban Demography Laboratory at ENAC (GR-URBDEMO), a job that has given me great satisfaction on both human and professional levels.
Did you choose your job or did it choose you?
My opportunities, my different trips and my chosen studies directed me to this choice. But there are always surprises in life that can change, and this may determine other choices.
What do you like to do, apart from science and research?
In my free time, I like to go for walks, where I can appreciate the beauty of the landscape, I like to travel and discover other countries, other cultures and other people, I like sport, listening to music, reading and sharing with my family and friends.
What is the most interesting place you have visited?
Death Valley in California, which is located in the Mojave Desert at 85.5 meters below sea level, the lowest point in the United States. It is a wonderful place with bright colors, extraordinarily unique landscapes with multiple and very impressive shapes. I really enjoyed visiting Ireland with its beautiful green valleys. Cork is without doubt Ireland’s most picturesque city, with its vibrant coastal colors. The Cliffs of Moher are an important feature of the coastal landscape in the west of Ireland.
A free thought for the end?
“Seeking for the best in others to have fruitful relationships”. “Never stop learning”.
