BIOGRAPHY
Born in Neuchâtel the 26th April 1978, I start my undergraduate studies in Physics at the University of Lausanne (1996).

In 1998, I am on an ERASMUS exchange program at the University of Kent at Canterbury, for the 3rd year of the diploma in physics. I am back in Lausanne in 1999 to finish the last year of the Physics degree in the High Energy domain field. In 2000, I do my diploma thesis in medical imaging at the Hammersmith Hospital (Imperial College - West London), on a Positron Emission Tomography camera (Quad-HiDAC).

In October 2001, I join the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory at EPFL. I work as a graduate assistant on different projets related to the Natural Lighting domain.

In October 2002, I start a degree in Computer Science at the University of Lausanne, and I graduate in 2003.

In July 2003, I leave EPFL to start a 2 year PGCE (PostGraduate Certificate in Education) that I get in 2005.

From September 2005 to December 2009, I am back at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory to complete a PhD.

From January 2010 to September 2011, I work as a post-doc at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory. My missions are two-fold: 1) developments for CitySim, the urban energy fluxes simulation tool and 2) integration of BTDF data in Radiance renderings.

From October 2011, I work as research associate with responsibility of the group "Sustainable Urban Development" and diverse teaching tasks.
