Projects
Instant3D – Photo-to-3D-Print Web Service
2026 – presentPersonal project
Biel, SwitzerlandOnline service that turns phone photos into 3D-printed objects: AI 3D model generation, automatic print preparation and pricing, ordering, and production on an in-house printer.
GPU pipeline running open-source image-to-3D models, followed by automatic mesh repair and estimation of print time and cost for each piece.
Python web backend with a 3D viewer for customers, and an admin interface for orders and production tracking.
Automated Bambu Lab printer set up in a home workshop, driven by a Raspberry Pi.
Recovery for VLA-Based Models in Robotics
Spring 2026Master Project
CREATE Lab / Sycamore, EPFLFine-tuned the SmolVLA vision-language-action model for a long-horizon pick-and-place task with an SO-101 arm in Isaac Sim, driven by a subtask orchestrator (grasp, lift, place) with grasp checks and two-level recovery.
Built the data and evaluation tooling: teleoperation (gamepad, Quest 3 VR), dataset recording and editing, autonomous data collection, and batch evaluation runs; trained on an RTX 5090 and the EPFL SCITAS cluster (SLURM).
Markerless Salamander Pose Estimation from X-ray Radiography
Spring 2025Semester Project
BIOROB Lab, EPFLBuilt a pipeline to process X-ray images and automatically annotate salamander skeletal positions.
Fine-tuned a DeepLabCut model for accurate markerless skeletal pose estimation from X-ray data.
Sublimation and Snow Transport Analysis in Antarctica
Fall 2024Semester Project
CRYOS lab, EPFL SionProcessed field measurements from the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica station to study sublimation and snow transport.
Applied eddy covariance and Monin-Obukhov methods to estimate latent heat fluxes and assess implications for surface mass and energy balance.
