Presenter

I lead the Artificial Intelligence aided Design and Manufacturing group at the Computer Graphics Department of the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. I was a postdoctoral researcher at Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where I was a member of the Computational Design and Fabrication Group, led by professor Wojciech Matusik. During this time I made a research visit at MMCI, hosted by Prof. Piotr Didyk. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). My thesis (supervised by Prof. Roger D. Hersch) focused on computational printing where I developed a novel reproduction workflow for printing with non-standard materials. I have been awarded the 2023 Germany's Curious Mind Award in the category of "AI, Digitalisation, and Robotics" and the 2022 Hermann Neuhaus Prize of the Max Planck Society. I am also a recipient of two postdoctoral fellowships awarded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
