About
In 2023, I started as doctoral candidate at EPFL in Lausanne in the LAPD led by Christophe Moser. I work on computational tools to improve Tomographic 3D Printing.
Outside of academia, I enjoy cycling (last Mallorca 312 2026) and playing Ultimate Frisbee. Besides that, I'm involved in the Orpheus e.V. to prepare pupils participating at physics competitions. And I'm teaching at the sustainability camp.
Within the EPFL community, I help promote the Julia programming language through the Julia EPFL community.

I am visiting Stanford from May until September!
New preprint: The Pandoro effect in Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing
New preprint accepted at SIGGRAPH: Single-View Holographic Volumetric 3D Printing with Coupled Differentiable Wave-Optical and Photochemical Optimization
I am looking for potential postdoctoral positions starting from summer 2027. I am interested in anything around physical & chemical modelling of VAM processes and/or potential bio applications.
I received the best talk award at 3DAM conference. However, I rejected it because of financial sponsorship by Elsevier. See here my reasoning.
Dr. TVAM for optimizing ray-optical patterns for tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM) is now available.
