HELLO !
I am a student researcher and Ph.D. candidate surfing between the Human-Computer-Interaction Lab at Saarland University (Germany), the De Vinci Innovation Center and the Polytechnic Institute of Paris (France). I am working with Prof. Jürgen Steimle, Dr. Marc Teyssier and Dr. Samuel Huron.
My research interests rest at the nexus of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Biodesign, and Embedded Systems as I explore Sustainability and Emerging Technologies for Human-Computer- Interaction through organic and living matter.

I love cats. I don't have a cat, but sometimes I meow 🐈⬛
