Autonomyo Sàrl is a Swiss medtech company developing innovative solutions to support mobility and rehabilitation, including body weight support systems and exoskeleton technologies. As part of my Master’s thesis and internship at Autonomyo Sàrl, I contribute to the evaluation and redesign of a novel, fully mechanical Body Weight Support (BWS) device intended for home use. My work includes conducting usability tests with users and clinicians, analyzing feedback, optimizing the mechanical design for manufacturing, and supporting regulatory evaluations. This hands-on experience allows me to apply my background in biomechanics and engineering to improve accessibility and usability in rehabilitation technologies.

Phassyl Sàrl is an educational support company specializing in personalized tutoring for EPFL and university-level students in scientific disciplines. As a support teacher in mathematics and physics, I provide tailored one-on-one and small group sessions to help students grasp challenging concepts, prepare for exams, and strengthen their problem-solving skills. Through my work at Phassyl Sàrl, I have gained valuable experience in adapting my teaching approach to different learning styles and guiding students toward academic success in demanding subjects.

N-Pulse EPFL is a student-led association dedicated to developing an affordable, 3D-printed upper-limb prosthesis controlled by electromyographic (EMG) signals. The project aims to combine accessibility, functionality, and innovative design to improve prosthetic solutions for individuals with limb differences. As part of the mechanical development team, I focus on designing the fingers and thumb of the prosthesis, with a particular emphasis on creating flexible, bi-material finger structures that enable natural, adaptive motion. This experience allows me to apply my skills in mechanical design and biomimicry to a meaningful, real-world challenge.

BioSense EPFL is a student association focused on biosensing technologies, bringing together students interested in biomedical engineering, diagnostics, and health innovation. As Chief Communication Officer (CCO), I was responsible for managing the association’s public presence, coordinating internal and external communications, and promoting our events and projects. I led the creation of visual and written content for social media, helped organize outreach initiatives such as the Biosensing Days and SensUs competition, and worked closely with other board members to strengthen the visibility and identity of the association within and beyond the EPFL community.
