Current research
Hi! I’m a PhD researcher at ZPAC focusing on menstrual health technologies and literacy for adolescents. I co-design with 10–17-year-olds, caregivers, medical stuff and educators in Switzerland to create technology that’s safe, understandable, and useful in everyday life. To my background: I hold a BSc in Informatics with Natural Sciences and an MSc in Information Systems from the University of Zürich. Additionally, during my studies I worked part-time as a software engineer at Siemens. My PhD is supported by the DSI PhD Excellence Program (scholarship) and co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Elaine May Huang (UZH), Prof. Marcia Nissen (Ostschweizer Fachhochschule), and Prof. Tobias Kowatsch (Med-HSG). If you are interested in menstrual health technologies, feel free to contact me and discuss future collaborations!
