Degree in Electronical physics from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 1998. He did his Ph.D. degree in the field of micro-mechanical systems at the Institute of Microtechnology (IMT), University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 2001. His PHD thesis was done in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena and led to the successful operation of an Atomic Force Microscope on the Phoenix Mission to the Planet Mars in 2008.

Between 2004 and 2013 he successfully led the research activities in the field of Tools for Nanoscience at the Institute of Microengineering of EPFL at the Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems Laboratory ( SAMLAB ) of Prof. Nico de Rooij. During 2011, he also led R&D activities in Electron Beam Lithography for the Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique ( CSEM ). He was instrumental in creating the Swiss Chapter of the Mars Society in 2011 and is currently Vice President. The same year he started lecturing at the Bern University of Applied Science in the field of Micro and Medical Technology. Google Scholar publication page:
