Mission After six years leading the EPFL Space Center — spanning teaching, student associations, research, and innovation — I have a grounded understanding of what makes EPFL exceptional and where it faces real complexity. I want to bring that perspective into institutional governance.Constructive by nature. I am solution-oriented, genuinely enjoy working across large and diverse stakeholder groups, and know how to navigate the constraints of a complex organization while keeping things moving forward.A brid

Teaching & PhD Courses Introduction to the design of space mechanisms EE-580 Space environment is different from what we can experience on Earth, requiring specific design approaches in order to achieve reliable operations. Engineers must hence face new challenges stimulating their creativity to tackle those particular constraints.
