About

I am Head of Product at xorlab AG. Previously, I was a Post-Doc at the Laboratory for Software Technology (ETH Zurich). My research focused on program analysis and program synthesis for automatic performance anomalies detection.

I hold a PhD (2018) from ETH Zurich (under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Gross), a MSc. degree (2010) from the University of Lugano (USI), and a BSc. degree (2008) from the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI).

Before joining ETH I spent time in the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital (Boston, MA), and in the Networking Laboratory at SUPSI (Manno, Switzerland).
