Biography

Christophe’s primary area of expertise lies in examining the magnetic manipulation of catheters and microrobots to enable the precise navigation of medical devices within a complex vascular system.
Prior to Nanoflex Robotics, Christophe was a prominent robotics researcher at ETH Zurich, a leading research university, in Switzerland. He joined ETH Zurich’s prestigious robotics lab as a PhD candidate where he worked on shaping the future of magnetic navigation technology for medical applications. Christophe obtained his PhD in 2019 from ETH Zurich.
Furthermore, as part of his Master’s program, he spent two years working on an autonomous planetary rover navigation project at the NASA Ames Research Center in California and the European Space Agency. His early applied research on space exploration ignited his passion for autonomous robotics systems and its potential in helping humankind.
