I am a PhD student at ETH Zürich with Prof. Friedemann Mattern, at the Institute for Pervasive Computing. Also, half of my time is apent as a research assistant at SAP Research in Zürich.
I finished in April 2006 my M.Sc. in Computer Science at the Swiss Federal Insitute of Technology in Lausanne (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne - EPFL).
My master’s project was done at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), with Prof. Charles Taylor at the Department of Organismic Biology, Ecology and Evolution, jointly with Prof. Deborah Estrin at the Center of Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), Prof. Edward Stabler of the Department of Linguistics and Prof. Kung Yao at the department of Electrical Engineering. I collaborated on a NSF-sponsored project where I developed a framework to use sensor networks to study the influence of sexual and natural selection upon the evolution of bird songs in real environments.
Between may 2006 and april 2007, I spent one year as a researcher at the Humanoid Robotics and Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, at the ATR Research Center near Kyoto, in Japan, where I worked on human-robot interaction using video and audio information.
