Mentorship

Students I have advised or co-advised

Through my collaboration with the BOPA Innovation Chair at the Centre Hépato-Biliaire, Paul Brousse Hospital, I advised M.S. in Engineering students on research projects, including three final-year students in Healthcare and Biomedical Services at CentraleSupélec and two second-year students in Health Research at Mines Paris. Since moving to the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, I have also mentored an intern through the CaCTüS (Computation & Cognition Tübingen Summer Internship) program and worked with four part-time research assistants (HiWis).
