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 bridge within the ETH Domain. French by origin, I also speak German/Italian and collaborate regularly with ETHZ, EMPA, and PSI. I see the School Assembly's connection to our ETHZ colleagues as an asset, and I want to contribute to that forward-thinking, cross-institutional dialogue.Committed to learning beyond my domain. I bring deep expertise in space and institutional strategy, but I am equally motivated to engage with the full breadth of EPFL's mission — and to represent the Corps Administrative et Technique with the seriousness that role deserves.

Different tools and methods to measure, understand and act for space sust. will be presented. Throughout group work, the students will evaluate the technical, economical, governance and geopolitical aspects of space sust. Spacecraft design and system engineering EE-584 The main objective of the course is to provide tools and notions for spacecraft design. The course will start with an introduction on systems engineering, then the different subsystems of a spacecraft will be explored. External teachers from industry will bring their expertise.
