I design high-performance electromechanical systems by integrating motor design, power electronics, and embedded control into a single optimized architecture. With a PhD from EPFL and experience across aerospace and high-volume products, I focus on system-level decisions that directly impact performance, cost, and scalability. My work spans from blank-sheet motor design to inverter architecture and advanced control (FOC, observers, fault-tolerant systems), always with a strong emphasis on power density, efficiency, and real-world constraints. I have led the development of complete actuation and propulsion systems from concept to production, including industrialization at scale (150k+ units/year), and delivered measurable impact such as multi-million CHF cost reductions through system-level optimization. My experience ranges from compact embedded drives to megawatt-class, medium-voltage systems (10 kV), bridging low- and high-power domains. I operate at the intersection of physics, electronics, and control, taking end-to-end ownership of complex systems and making pragmatic trade-offs between performance, cost, and reliability. I am particularly interested in advanced energy conversion and actuation systems, including electric propulsion, high-performance robotics, and next-generation power electronics platforms.
