  • Education

    • Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich

      2015 - 2017
      Master of Science (MS) Mechanical Engineering

      Activities and Societies: - I was on the board of the Mechanical and Electrotechnic students' associations, organizing a wide range of events and managing teams of 4 to 8 people - I was president of the Challenge association (which organizes the biggest student ski and snowboard competition in Switzerland). While planning the event, I managed a 15 members team and a budget of about 200'000CHF. Also, I was in charge of the communication with the school officials and represented the organization in public events. In my BSc, after basic theoretical classes in physics, mathematics and materials, I focused on Mechanics, Materials and Structures.In my MSc, I am currently continuing with the same focus, including 3D-printing, Additive Manufacturing, and some courses in Design Thinking.

      Tutor in Mathematics and Physics

      Ever since I started working at TLC, I have been tutoring young adults between 15 and 19 attempting to obtain their International Baccalaureate. This usually involves preparing them for tests, answering their every day questions on the subject, and sometimes helping them with the difficult choices they face in their last years of High-School.

      Sept 2015 - Jun 2016

      During their first year at ETH, Bachelor students need to complete the Innovation-project (http://www.pdz.ethz.ch/Education/innovation-project.html). My role is to help and coach three teams during the project, give them tools to tackle the challenge at hand, and make sure that they are working efficiently and consistently. In combination with the job, I participate in a Leadership course in order to ensure an optimal coaching on my part. During one semester, I prepared a repetition and exercises class for students of the ETH taking Stochastics. I repeated the theory the professor had gone over during the week, solved some examples for the students to understand the principles, and gave them tips for the exercise sheet they had to hand in that week.
