I am a PhD student at the Institute of Neuroinformatics at ETH Zürich & UZH working on the neural dynamics of speech under the supervision of Timothée Proix. My research focuses on investigating how speech features are represented and combined in the brain to form a unified meaning. I am also a Venture Fellow at Creator Fund, investing in early-stage deep tech startups.

Background

I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physics from ETH Zürich in 2023 and 2025, respectively. During my Bachelor's, I spent a year in Paris at École Normale Supérieure. There I worked on light-matter coupling in metamaterial resonators and on the Langevin dynamics of actin propelled beads. After finishing my Bachelor's, I did an internship at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, where I studied excited state properties of two-dimensional materials using femtosecond spectroscopy. Upon returning to ETH for my Master's, I did theoretical and computational work on statistical physics and the 3D Heisenberg model. Furthermore I developed machine learned interatmoic potentials for accelerated computation of materials properties. During my thesis, I worked on many-body perturbation theory and studied the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional magnetic semiconductors as a visiting researcher at Yale University.

Some of my current research interests

• Point-process generalized linear models
• Interpretable RNNs for time series analysis
• Stochastic modeling of neural activity
• Neural ODEs
• Dynamical systems reconstruction
