Mission

I like the idea of communicating with people from different scientific areas (e.g. biologist on one hand and optical engineers on the other hand) because solving interdisciplinary questions has always fascinated me during my research career.

Teaching & PhD

Teaching

Life Sciences Engineering

Courses

Bioimage informatics

The course provides a comprehensive overview of methods, algorithms, and computer tools used in bioimage analysis. It exposes fundamental concepts and practical computer solutions to extract quantitative information from multidimensional images, both using engineering methods and deep learning.

Advanced Microscopy for Life Science

For further information, please get in contact with the instructor or have a look on the following web-site: http://biop.epfl.ch/

Image Processing for Life Science

Registration details will be announced via email. It takes place yearly from Sept./October to December & intends to teach image processing with a strong emphasis of applications in life sciences. The idea is to enable the participants to solve image-processing questions via workflows independently.

Methods: from disease models to therapy

This course will describe methods underlying translational approaches from disease modeling and characterization to therapeutic applications. The presented techniques will be complemented by hands-on rotations in the technological platforms of the School of Life Sciences.

General chemistry

This course covers essential notions in general chemistry, relative to matter and its structure, equilibriums and chemical reactions, for life science students. The lectures and exercise sessions provide the knowledge and methodology required to solve general chemistry exercises.

Experimental biomicroscopy

By combining hands-on and theoretical training, this course introduces commonly used optical microscopy techniques. The lab training takes place in BIOP Core Facility and provides access to use microscopes and image biological samples. Theoretical part covers their basic operation principles.
