Biography
I joined the Swiss Data Science Center at EPFL in March 2019 as a data scientist focused on industry collaborations. Our mission is to support corporates in leveraging the power of their data by adopting analytical approaches and data-centric solutions. My background is in biomedical engineering and I hold a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Tübingen. Before joining the center, I worked as a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, at the EPFL Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience in Geneva, and as data scientist for a private ecommerce company.Education
