Scientist working on cutting-edge AI. Prev: researcher at EPFL, PhD in Mathematical Physics. Experience with IB and Cambridge STEP prep.

Hi! I am currently an AI Scientist at a US-based company working on cutting-edge AI applied to molecular biology. This is the topic that won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared by D. Baker, J. Jumper, D. Hassabis).

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher in computational biophysics, machine learning and computational biology at EPFL. I maintain two Python libraries for Topological Data Analysis and pyflagser.

I have previously been a post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of Bern, where my research was concerned with the interplay between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

I have been teaching at various levels since I was a PhD student at the University of York (UK), and more recently I was part of the cutting-edge educational project Isaac Physics in Physics/Maths/Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

Here is my teaching experience so far:

- As a PhD student, I taught seminars in several of the undergraduate modules taught by the Department of Mathematics. In total, I have around 500 contact hours of experience in seminar teaching and marking, all of which I have found to be very rewarding.

- As a PhD student, I jointly ran a course for talented high school student wishing to be admitted at high-rank universities, and in particular wishing to pass interviews and the STEP admission paper for entry at Cambridge.

- As part of the Isaac Physics project, I created or helped create some of the online content such as theory pages, problems and books. In particular I helped put together a book on GCSE physics and one on A-level chemistry. Again as part of Isaac Physics, I gave seminars to a variety of high school students and interacted with local teachers to communicate the Isaac Physics philosophy and methodology. I also have some experience giving online YouTube webinars.

- Throughout, I have been offering one-to-one tuition to A-level/IB students, university students and adult casual learners.

I am happy to travel within about 4-5km of my postcode 1008 in Prilly. Alternatively, I can offer webcam lessons.

Mathematics courses (DF level and higher) for maturity.
Hello, I am a professor and also a graduate of EPFL in Chemistry and Molecular Biology. Also having a solid background in applied mathematics, I have been offering mathematics courses at DF level and above for more than 8 years. I have already worked with more than 150 students for these two subjects, and they have obtained excellent results in their matus. The topics often discussed are: - Algebra (1st, 2nd and 3rd degree functions). - Analysis of functions (derivative, optimization and integrals). - Vector and analytical geometry (plane and space). - Complex numbers. - Real sequences (arithmetic and geometry). - Linear algebra. - Statistics and others. I am a very pedagogical and patient person. If you have any difficulties or shortcomings, do not hesitate to contact me. Greetings

Claire
EPFL student gives intensive refresher courses SUMMER 2025 - school holidays - ADHD / ADD / HPI children - Support +++
A student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), I am currently in BA5 - third year of Bachelor's degree - in the IC (computer science) faculty. I have been giving private lessons since 2018 in mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences. Holder of a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences since the summer of 2021, I completed a 3-month internship in a hospital environment in the psychiatric sector and basic research in neuroscience. I was also accepted-collée (admitted to the competition but the quota places granted limited my entry into medical school) after having completed a national competition that was both selective and elitist to integrate a faculty of medicine: the first year common to health studies. Very difficult in math, physics, organic chemistry and biology. I was subsequently very involved in collaborative and associative projects to train students for the medical competition, in the first year. I like teaching, making people understand and seeing this moment of light on the student's face for whom everything becomes clear! ***** Procedure during the SUMMER SCHOOL HOLIDAYS (July and August) for those who want to get AHEAD, review their BASICS or simply get back into the swing of things! ***** I have also been giving private lessons in mathematics and physics for 8th grade students at the gymnasium or in preparation for their maturity for 6 years. Many of my students have an ADHD profile, and I always enjoy adapting to the needs of each person, maintaining DYNAMICS in the course and doing interactive exercises so that the knowledge sinks in better. .. Dynamic, I am myself a studious and serious student. I have gone through the challenges and stress of exams and competitions many times. My goal is to give you confidence and provide you with the appropriate method to succeed in your course. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ RUNNING TIME FOR THE PRE-ENTRY COURSE - REFRESHER ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: - Home visits possible from Morges to Pully: variable rates as no vehicle - Possible to give courses at Rolex, the EPFL library: fixed and cheaper rates _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Apart from the courses I offer, I specialise in providing support for the following: - Exam preparation. - Course reviews. - Review of an exam not understood or knowledge not acquired. I can be reached without further ado on the Apprentus.ch platform, for any questions and if necessary. Do not hesitate to contact me for any information request! I will answer you without further ado :)

Yacine
Student in the 1st year of a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics at EPFL gives lessons in maths and physics
I am a student in the 1st year of Master in Applied Mathematics. If you think it's about learning without understanding, you don't have the right method. I could give you the right approaches to understand the material and pass your exams. During the course I will adapt to your needs, whether it is to review the course, understand / do the exercises or both.

Soukaynah
Physics and Chemistry Maths lessons for high school students!
Hello, I am an EPFL graduate student who has followed and helped more than 50 students to pass their year for maths, physics and chemistry. Last year I had 4 students who were taking their exams to obtain their federal maturities (private school) and contacted me for regular courses during the year. They all had excellent results in maths and physics. I even have a student who had 6 in her federal math exam..... (she didn't know much before starting lessons with me and now she's a hit!) If you need help, I offer group and individual lessons in Lausanne (1014) or by zoom (depending on your preference). Individual lesson (1 person) Group lessons (2 people) Group lessons (3 people) Questions or you can already book your first lesson
