Mission
As an academic manager at EPFL, I contribute today to the University's three main missions which are education, research and innovation, in the strategic domains of sustainability and quantum science:- 1. as educational coordinator of the minor "Engineering for Sustainability", in collaboration with the "Sustainability in Education" team - website minor and website sustainability in education.
- 2. as project manager by launching and supporting activities to promote the bachelor and master studies in "Environmental Sciences and Engineering (SIE)" in close collaboration with the "Education Outreach Department (SPE)" - website
- 3. as research and innovation manager at the "Quantum Science and Engineering (QSE) Center" by supporting the center's initiatives, managing the QSE grants, and creating an innovation seed grant program - website
