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

Courses

Advanced Microscopy for Life Science

BIO-659

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

Bioimage informatics

BIO-410

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.

Experimental biomicroscopy

MICRO-562

General chemistry for SV

CH-100

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.

Image Processing for Life Science

BIO-695

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

BIOENG-518

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.
