Super AE team - Mechanical engineering
Emmie Manon Ester Martin-Cocher
As a GM master student that has taken part in a few MAKE projects, I would be happy to assist you in your hands-on projects!
I am the most qualified in CAD, prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting...), and steel or alu TIG welding.
Don't hesitate to reach out :)
Super AE team - Mechanical engineering
Malachy Liam Osim
Certified SPOT-squatter since BA1, I've pretty much been around the block in terms of what can and can't be done here.
Most proficient in all things mechanical (machining/welding), I'm always down to try out crazy ideas.
I've been at EPFL Xplore for three years, and I'm currently the Mechanical System Engineer.
General prototyping, wood working

Super AE team - Electrical engineering
Linus Crugnola
Always happy to help! I'm into electronics, robotics, machine learning and control. I've worked in embedded software development and did some competitive robotics (I may or may not have bragging rights about this). When I'm not busy or yapping at SPOT, you'll probably find me cycling or running in the mountains.
Super AE team - Micro-technical engineering
Paul-Antoine Croux
I always have too many projects on my to do list, I'm always frustrated to not be able to do all of them. However, I always have extream satifaction to help you on your projects when you come by the SKIL. I also do a lot of motocyle and looking at my scares, people often presume without asking that I had a motorcycle accident, when in fact, I just wanted to become The Flash by touch high voltage train lines. Kids, don't touch things with a huge lightning logo on it!
3D Printing
Natan Enkaoua
Are you just starting out with 3D printing and don't know where to begin? Are your prints constantly failing? Perhaps one of your print dimensions is out of tolerance, or you've noticed strings appearing on the surface and don't know how to fix it? Do you have general questions about 3D printing?
If any of these apply to you, feel free to reach out to me, and I'll provide answers to the best of my ability!
I can also assist you with designing for 3D printing and other manufacturing methods, such as milling or turning, using software like Fusion 360, SolidWorks, CATIA V6 with 3DExperience, and CATIA V5.
Finally, don't hesitate to contact me to learn more about Robopoly!
Super AE team
Lucien Schmid
As transversal engineer-to-be having touched multiple fields from pure mechanics to PVC tarp bags to welding, I would be glad to advise you! Member of the SKIL since birth, I grew up in this astonishing creative environment and developed a special relationship with the DIY.
Ideation, electronis and rapid prototyping
Cédric Duchêne
I work at the intersection of electronics, sound, design, and interactive experiences as Head of Electronics & Systems Engineering at EPFL+ECAL Lab.
I particularly enjoy helping students prototype ideas that involve embedded systems, electronics, audiovisual installations, sound design, and projects centred on human interaction and perception.
Whether you are building an interactive object, an immersive installation, or a user-centred prototype, I would be happy to support you and help connect your project with the right expertise and resources.

3D printing
Sebastien Martinerie
As a mechanical engineer, I've always had a passion for 3D design and additive manufacturing technologies.
I've worked in R&D (developing a process for metal powders 3D printing) and in the medical field for over 20 years. At the same time, I run my own design and 3D printing business, which provides services for many advanced applications.
As your 3D printing coach at SPOT, I am dedicated to helping students succeed with their prototyping projects.
This activity includes:
- Training students, from design to production, while respecting the best practices and rules of the space.
- Giving advices and support on a daily basis.
- Managing the SPOT's 3D printing space,
- Developing the workshop by anticipating growth in demand, new needs and technological developments.

Sustainability, ideation, conception
Michka Mélo
Contact Michka as soon as you have an idea for a project, to see how we can best integrate sustainability into its strategy.
Starting very soon (at the project idea stage) offers best leverage on contributing to solving sustainability issues, and/or reducing environmental impacts.
If you project has already started, or is already quite advanced, you can still have leverage on sustainability issues, so don't hesitate to get in touch too.
Ideation, industrial design
Marius Conti
Contact Marius as soon as you have an idea for a project requiring expertise in user-centric design.
Marius can help you particularly at the design stage of your project by challenging the purpose of your idea, the usability and the needs for the end user and th
Super AE team
Yohan Max Abehssera
Yohan is part of our outstanding AE team, secretly operating in the shadows, developing the back office. Silent and swift like a cheetah, it's because he does his job so well that you don’t even notice him. But feel free to come chat with the super AE team directly at the SPOT during coaching hours, Monday to Friday from 2 PM to 8 PM.

General prototyping, composite materials
Stéphane Pilloud
Stephane should be one of the first coach to discuss with at the beginning of your project, especially if you are working on a structure. He has a wide expertise in prototyping and can provide general expertise on your idea
Stephane also has advanced expertise in composite material manufacturing
Transversal skills acquisition
Helena Kovacs
Helena worked at the LEARN center for pedagogical innovation during 3 years. During this time she lead projects such as the mapping of transversal skills for the entire curriculum - bachelor master (all sections of EPFL) - see more information there.
In 2023, she joined the Transversal Skill and Career Center (CCTC) as transversal skills manager
Embedded systems, Robotics
Alessandro Crespi
Alessandro is a postdoctoral researcher for the Bio-robotic laboratory. During his PhD thesis, he developped a salamander robot that can walk on earth and swim as well, his work was well recognized in the field of robotics.
With his background in computer science, he is today helping the MAKE initiative with IT developments.
His nickname is "the magician" because when you think you're stuck, ALe is getting you unstuck.
Team communication and organisation
Catherine Marselli Pasquier
Catherine Marselli Pasquier is an accomplished engineer with a PhD and extensive experience in the industry where she worked as both an engineer and later as a project and team leader.
Passionate about supporting students in their professional developmment, she joined EPFL to develop the mandatory internship program for Master's students. She also teaches several courses focused on transversal skills and recruitment competencies.

Project management, ideation
Julien Delisle
Coordinator of the project portfolio and the projects using the makerspaces. Julien helps students at the early stages of a project to ensure their ideas can come to fruition and their projects are structured. When projects gain experience, the students then gain more responsibilities as well, and their projects usually becomes supervised by EPFL Professors/supervisors. Julien is an EPFL alumnus with a background in neuro-prosthetics and worked in this industry of retinal implants and artificial vision before coming back to EPFL.
Project management
Pascal Vuilliomenet
Coordinator of the whole MAKE program, Pascal is overseeing the program and gives a lot of energy to promote project-based and hand-on learning at EPFL. He received the prize of “outstanding employee” in 2023 for his contributions.
Pascal also works for the Vice-Presidency of Innovation in projects mixing technologies and sport. Unless your project is related to sport, you should contact other coaches before Pascal (he is quite busy).
Naval architecture, project management
Robin Amacher
Robin is coordinating complex project such as Swiss Solar Boat or SP80. Next to his role of project supervisor/coach, Robin is responsible of the DLL materials, a space dedicated to hands-on training equiped with useful resources to test different types of materials.
