Education
- 5th-year Ph.D. student at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT, under the supervision of Prof. Daniela Rus.
Background
- Research interests include Mathematics, Control Theory, Optimization, and Robotics. While his interests tend more towards theory and software, he has a deep appreciation for hardware.
Miscellany
- Enjoys running along the Charles River, hiking in the Whites, skiing back home in Switzerland, and playing badminton. Draws inspiration from great engineers and inventors such as Wile E. Coyote (SuPeR gEnIouS), André Franquin’s Gaston, and Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson.
