Welcome to my academic webpage. I'm currently a Software Engineer at Google in Mountain View, California.
In June 2012, I completed my Ph.D. in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University under the supervision of Serafim Batzoglou. My broad area of interest throughout my studies has been computational biology and the application of computer science to biomedical problems. My thesis focused on integrative methods that extend Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) by developping new methods, asking new questions, and integrating genotype data with other high throughput modalities. Several of my projects were completed in collaboration with the groups of Atul Butte and Mike Snyder, and as a member of the ENCODE consortium. During the Summer of 2011 I participated in the Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford.
Prior to joining Stanford, I was a member of the Models and Theory of Computation group at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where I worked on developping formal methods for the construction and analysis of models of biological systems. I received an MSc in Computer Science with a specialization in bio-computing from EPFL in March 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I was an exchange student in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I also took part in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) in the Department of Biological Sciences. I'm originally from Switzerland, and grew up in the medieval town of Saillon, and attended the Lycée-Collège des Creusets in Sion.
My hobbies include photography, traveling, and the outdoors, and I volunteer as an Emergency Medical Technician with Stanford EMS.
