  Epfl

  Jul 2017 - Feb 2021

  Represent Master's students during the Teaching Committee meetings and the IC Section Council meetings, which are chaired by the Vice-President for Education and gather all faculty members. Teaching Assistant in Thermodynamics with Prof. Fasoli, Mechanics with Prof. Grueter and Prof. Hebert, Programming with Prof. Rougemont and Biology for first year students. Semester project in the Signal Processing Laboratory 4 (EPFL) with Prof. Frossard on the subject of super-resolution of medical images. The goal was to create a model that up-scales low resolution images, taking into account their underlying texture and filling in the unknown details. Summer internship at the Institute of chemical sciences and engineering of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Project subject: adding a Hough Transform algorithm to the open source image-js program with a focus on image processing and manipulation in JavaScript.
