I am currently completing my master’s degree at ETH Zurich with a focus on Robotics, Systems, and Control. In particular, I have been studying various aspects of optimisation: machine learning, mathematical programming and game theory, amongst others.

Given this background, I am interested in applying computational approaches, such as reinforcement learning and evolutionary algorithms, in the co-design of intelligent robots – in other words, developing methods that optimise both the morphology and control of a robot for a predefined goal.
