Work Experience

Robotics Developer at UNIFR, Human – IST

February 1, 2025 - June 1, 2025

Integrated Pupil Labs Core eye-tracking system with AprilTag-based marker detection to compute precise spatial coordinates of gaze targets. Developed a research plan to translate gaze-based positional data into movement commands for a robotic arm (Dobot Magician E6). Currently engineering a gaze-to-action interface by implementing coordinate transformation and object targeting via computer vision and sensor fusion. Designed an extension system study to incorporate EEG signal input for enhanced intention detection and hybrid human-machine control.

Lab Technician at UNIFR - Jens Stein Immunology Lab

September 1, 2024 - December 1, 2024

Performed PCR, flow cytometry, gel electrophoresis, and cryosectioning under sterile conditions. Designed and executed experiments with emphasis on data reproducibility. Applied biostatistical methods to interpret flow cytometry datasets and determine significance thresholds. Supported experimental planning with structured documentation, data integrity checks, and internal quality audits.

Lab Technician at EPFL - Conditioner Project, Fribourg

October 1, 2023 - November 1, 2023

Prepared patients for diagnostic procedures by explaining the process to ensure comfort and compliance. Attached temperature receptors, ECG leads, and EEG electrodes following standard protocols to ensure accurate data acquisition. Ensured accurate sensor data acquisition (ECG, EEG, temperature) during physiological studies, calibrating equipment and documenting deviations.

Lab Technician at EPFL - Conditioner Project, Fribourg

October 1, 2024 - November 1, 2024

Junior Engineer at AIP Tech, Yerevan, Armenia

September 1, 2021 - January 1, 2022

Used Meshmixer, Fusion 360, and Blender to create precise 3D models of implants and prosthetics, tailored to each patient's unique needs. Converted DICOM files to STL format using RadiAnt and 3D Slicer, enabling the creation of accurate customized models for individual patients. Collaborated closely with physicians and surgeons to design efficient, effective, and safe implants and prosthetics, contributing to quicker and more successful recoveries. Applied medical knowledge to ensure designs met established standards and regulations. Successfully aided in designing prosthetics for 2 patients with severe skull injuries; Worked with 3D models of implants in a medical context, collaborating with surgeons under regulatory constraints.
