Biography
After a BA in business languages and a degree in economics and social sciences from Lyon3 University & IAE, I graduated in business management in 1992.Before joining EPFL, I worked during 4 years for the CNRS "VIRGO-LIGO" collaboration in Italy as an administrator, and in Geneva, 7 years as clinical trial coordinator, clinical research associate and clinical supply manager for Merck Pharma.
Assisting scientists in their projects guided my professional choices. I like team working with multicultural teams and circulating information between people and services of our community. Working for this School offers me the opportunity to collaborate with international top class scientists and engineers, passionate and eclectic professionals.
Current work
Administrative Assistant, LSBI Laboratory of Soft Bioelectronic Interfaces (Neuro-X Institute), headed by Prof. Stéphanie Lacour.Presentation
I joined the School in 2015 as an administrative assistant after a varied career between science and industry.I worked for 5 years in the Faculty of Basic Sciences, first with Prof. Sivula in Chemical Science and Engineering (molecular engineering of optoelectronic nanomaterials), then with Profs. Kneib, Courbin and Jablonka in Astrophysics.
In 2020, I joined the Biotech Campus Geneva and the Faculty of Life Sciences with Prof. Blanke's laboratory in cognitive Neuroscience, which focuses its research and clinical projects on the brain mechanisms of body perception, body awareness and self-awareness.
Recently, I joined the Faculty of Engineering with Prof. Lacour's laboratory (soft bioelectronic interfaces), within Neuro-X Institute, which is oriented towards inter-school collaboration and focuses its teaching and projects on science, industry and clinical projects.
I assist a multidisciplinary group at the crossroads of engineering and biology. This interdisciplinary is the common denominator of my professional choices, and it also illustrates the profession of lab administrative assistant at EPFL.
Enriched by these experiences, I'd like to get involved in representing my profession in the future.
