Ph.D student at ETH Zürich, Nutrition physiology / Control of energy intake
Research | Zürich Area, Switzerland, CH
As a Life sciences engineer, my educational background was particularly research-oriented, dealing especially with human health. Finally focusing on human nutrition, I was able to get scientific and technical skills in this field. I also had the opportunity to get professionally involved in the world of sport, which I particularly appreciated as a person. Today, I lead research projects in the field of sports nutrition.
Above all, I am particularly interested in the way the human body harvests energy from food. Consequently, I took the decision to start a Ph.D at ETH Zürich in nutrition physiology (physiological control of food and energy intake).
