Curriculum Vitae

Vlad is a PhD student at ETH Zurich at the Institute for Pervasive Computing, and a Research Associate SAP Research in Zurich since May 2007. He graduated in april 2006 with a M.Sc. degree in Computer Science at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). His thesis project was done at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), with Prof. Charles Taylor at the Department of Organismic Biology, Ecology and Evolution, jointly with Prof. Deborah Estrin at the Center of Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), where he developed a framework to use sensor networks to study the influence of sexual and natural selection upon the evolution of bird songs in real environments.

Between may 2006 and april 2007, he spent one year as a researcher at the Humanoid Robotics and Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, at the ATR Research Center near Kyoto, Japan, where I worked on human-robot interaction using video and audio information.
