A collection of my recent work and technical projects
Master Thesis, IDEALLab — ETH Zurich · Sept 2025 - Mar 2026
Reinforcement Learning for Robotic Assembly
Master thesis on reinforcement learning for robotic assembly tasks. I built a training environment in NVIDIA Isaac Sim where a UR5e arm learns a reaching task, then deployed the learned policies on the real robot. Sim-to-real performance analysis, policy tuning and domain randomization brought real-world accuracy below 5 mm across the workspace.
R&D Project, BMHT Lab · Spring 2025
Wearable Kirigami Antenna for Motion Monitoring
Semester project turning an early concept into a testable wearable antenna for motion monitoring. I designed 3D-printed molds in SolidWorks, cast the silicone kirigami structures and integrated the antenna. Mechanical behavior and RF response were characterized on a traction machine and a vector network analyzer, then the wearable was evaluated during real human-motion trials.
Personal Projects · Ongoing
3D-Printed Functional Parts
Designing, printing and installing functional parts: clamps, flexible gaskets, and cosmetic items, designed in FreeCad or downloaded, printed and mounted at home or on boats. I printed PLA, PETG, TPU and ASA. More projects on the way.
Personal Projects · Ongoing
Custom FPV Drone Build
Personal project building an FPV drone from the ground up, selecting and sizing every component myself — motor and battery sizing to hit the right thrust-to-weight. I soldered the electronics, calibrated the flight controller, and designed and 3D-printed the supporting parts (nuts, spacers and screws). A custom chassis for 18650 cells is currently in 3D design and will be printed next.
Engine Systems Group Project · Autumn 2024
Idle Speed Control of SI Engine
Group project in the Control of Engine Systems course: modeling and control of a spark-ignition engine at idle. I developed a Simulink model of the engine dynamics and its key components, then designed an idle-speed controller on top of it. Model and controller were tuned against test-bench measurements until the engine held a stable idle with minimal oscillation — a hands-on lesson in model-based control design and validation.
Erasmus Research Project, BCN eMotorsport · Spring 2023
Modeling an Autonomous Race Car
Erasmus research project on modeling and simulation of the BCN eMotorsport autonomous race car. I simulated the car's horizontal velocity using Model Predictive Control with longitudinal and lateral components, then optimized rolling resistance and drag coefficients against real track runs. Constrained optimization significantly improved the fit while keeping coefficients physically meaningful, and showed the commercial simulator's data needs further validation before refinement.
Student Association · Spring 2022
Swiss Solar Boat
Member of the Swiss Solar Boat student association, which designs and builds solar-powered hydrofoil boats. Involved in producing a carbon-fiber rudder cover and responsible of the coach boat on test days. A formative experience in real-world engineering under weight, power and reliability constraints.
