WHAT HAS FASCINATED ME SO FAR
In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, «Dr. Spot» got developed in collaboration between MIT, HMS and Boston Dynamics. «Dr. Spot» is able to measure four different vitals signs in a contactless manner. The robot got directly deployed in the emergency department of the Brigham and Womens hospital, Boston.
Development of a remote controller for ventilators during the COVID-19 crises. A group of six friends developed a remote controller in collaboration with Hamilton Medical and ETH Zurich and evaluated their system in hospitals in Switzerland and the USA.
In a team of 18 students, we transformed an electric race car to an autonomous driving one in 9 months. We won the Formula Student Italy championship with 1000/1000 points, the first team to achieve this since inception of the Formula Student competition in 1981. In addition, we won the competition at Hockenheimring, Germany.
Transforming a normal bicycle into a pedelec in only 60 seconds. ease makes it possible. The developed bicycle kit was also featured in several media worldwide (e.g. Galileo TV).
In the first two semesters of my studies at TUM I joined the adveisor student competition. In the team, we developed this great disc-shaped display and finally won the competition.
My passion to gain professional knowledge in the field of robotics started even during my early school years as I was actively involved and led the development of an award-winning robot.
