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.

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
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.
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.
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
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).
Super AE team
Andy Bittan
I am an EPFL member since 2019, I am and have always been in the Microengineering section (100% objectively EPFL's best section btw). I'm French, straight from Aix-en-Provence, and I can speak English and some of Spanish.
You can come to me if you need help for anything, but my comfort zones are designing, CAD/3D-printing and laser cutting.
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.

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
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. At the Spot, she leads two conferences: "Influencing and convincing" and "10+ techniques for successful communication and organisation in projects".
She works for the Transversal skills and Career Center and for the School of Basic Sciences.
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!
