Simon HolzerHi, I am Simon Holzer. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering with a focus on microtechnology from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) in 2020 and 2022, respectively. I am currently working towards Ph.D. in the Integrated Actuators Laboratory (LAI) at EPFL in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. My research interests lie in the field of soft robotics, artificial muscles, and biomechanics.
Georgios MoschidisTeaching & PhD PhD Students Abraham Gabriel Dorsaz Courses Analysis IV (for EL, GM, MX) MATH-207(c) This course serves as an introduction to the theory of complex analysis, Fourier series and Fourier transforms, the Laplace transform, with applications to the theory of ordinary and partial differential equations. These tools play an integral role in most branches of science and engineering. Differential geometry I - curves and surfaces MATH-213 This course serves as an intr

Maryam KamgarpourMaryam Kamgarpour holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and a Bachelor of Applied Science from University of Waterloo, Canada. Her research is on safe decision-making and control under uncertainty, game theory and mechanism design, mixed integer and stochastic optimization and control. Her theoretical research is motivated by control challenges arising in intelligent transportation networks, robotics, power grid systems and healthcare. She is the recipient of NASA High Potential Individual Award, NASA Excellence in Publication Award, and the European Union (ERC) Starting Grant.
Anastasia BolotnikovaIn April 2021, Anastasia Bolotnikova has joined the CIS collaboration grant for research pillar on Intelligent Assistive Robotics. The focus of this project is on development and integration of the robotic solution into an intelligent assistive environment for people with limited mobility, in collaboration with Professor Jamie Paik (RRL) and Professor Auke Ijspeert (BioRob).
Anastasia Bolotnikova received the M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the University of Tartu, Estonia, in 2017. Later that year, she started working as a robotics researcher at SoftBank Robotics Europe (SBRE). As part of her work contract with SBRE she entered a doctoral program in the University of Montpellier, France. She received the Ph.D degree in Robotics from University of Montpellier in March of 2021. The focus of her doctoral research was on the use of humanoid robot technology for assistance to frail or elderly.
