My Research

Since 2011, I am the Research Director of Artanim, a non-profit research institution recognized by Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency. Artanim is one of the largest motion capture centers in Switzerland, working in close collaboration with Swiss and international universities, as well as industrial partners.

Research conducted by Artanim focus on two strategic pillars. The first pillar is medical research, where motion capture combined with 3D medical imaging is used to better understand human joint structures and to improve diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The second pillar develops virtual or augmented reality applications emphasizing real time interaction and using cutting edge motion capture.
