Who am I ?
I am a French engineer from Mines DOUAI and a Ph.D. from the EPFL. I am currently working at the HUG on training for surgery in Virtual Reality. I like designing items from constraints to a hardware solution embedding electronics, software, networks, and servers to end up with a connected system that communicates with its environment. Aside from crafting things or doing construction work, I like doing sports like hiking in the mountains, biking, climbing, or dancing. More recently, I started photography, and you can check out some of my photographs on Flickr here!
