About

I obtained my degrees in civil engineering from ETH Zurich in Switzerland (MSc) and from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU, in Trondheim, Norway (PhD, 2011). From 2011 to 2016, I held a part-​​time position as Postdoc at the Institute for Building Materials at ETH Zurich, and simultaneously I held a part-​​time position as a corrosion consultant at the Swiss Society for Corrosion Protectioncall_made, which is the leading agency in the field of corrosion in Switzerland. My combined professional experience as scientist and consultant gave me many opportunities to see the relevant problems in engineering and to identify the related scientific questions that need to be addressed.  Since January 2017, I am an assistant professor at ETH Zurich, establishing my own research group thanks to a professorship grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation (2016) as well as an ERC Starting Grant (2019).
