I am interested in exploring the human mind and brain through various perspectives, including philosophy, art, and natural science.
In my free time, I enjoy playing music and actively participate in youth organizations such as science olympiads and scouts.

Hello :)
My name is Alixe Kirbihler and I am a 2023 Laidlaw scholar. I am currently a third-year Life Sciences engineering bachelor student at EPFL & an exchange student at KTH in Stockholm.
I am really interested in neurosciences, the biomedical field and, more generally, anything related to engineering.
Confirmed enthusiast of any outdoors activities, I am willing to discuss with you about any subjects, should it be STEM or climbing-hiking-skiing-diving related ;)
My research during 2023’s summer focused on characterising a novel D.Melanogaster mutant that perturbs synapse arborisation. It took place in Professor McCabe’s laboratory (for more information: https://www.epfl.ch/labs/mccabelab/research/).
My leadership in action last summer consisted of developing and implementing projects aimed at supporting emerging local cooperatives, women’s entrepreneurial initiatives, educational excellence, and improving the employability and mental health of young people.
I am really glad to be part of this community that gathers such inspiring and dedicated scholars and can’t wait to meet you !
Hello everyone!
I'm Veronika, a 3rd year life science engineering student at EPFL. I'm a strong proponent of mitigating existential risks, of which I'm feverishly passionate about research in biosecurity and infectious disease. As a Laidlaw Scholar, I did my research in the Laboratory of Digital Epidemiology on approximations of human-like crowd behavior during pandemics with AI agents, with the goal of creating an epidemiological model that can quickly and cheaply simulate dynamic crowd behavior.
In my free time, I love to garden - I'm currently in the process of growing purple sweet potatoes native to Asia. I'm also currently learning oil painting, absolutely love camping whenever I can, and I'm a big fan of metal music and love to go to concerts.
Please feel free to reach out, I'm always happy to chat.
Hello, I’m Chems, currently studying at EPFL doing electrical engineering. I recently worked in Professor Chizat’s lab on theory of deep neural networks, specifically on how to scale them optimally.
Let’s connect and share ideas!
Hello all! I study Government and Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University. I enjoy learning about International Affairs, events and trends in the Middle East (especially relating to democracy and regime type), and the impacts of French colonialism. This summer I will be doing research about the impacts of French colonialism on the education system in Tunisia.
