Welcome to Jessica Gantenbein
Welcome to Jessica Gantenbein who joined us for a PhD. Her main research interest lies on the investigation of different modalities for intention detection of assistive technologies and their functional benefits. In the long-term, she aims to contribute to bridging the gap between technical developments and daily-life applications in this area.
Jessica was born in Rorschach, Switzerland and received both her BSc and MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zurich in 2016 and 2019, respectively. During her studies, she focussed on Biomedical Engineering and Biomechanics. For her master's thesis, she developed and built a wheelchair-mountable arm-supporting device, tailored to the specific requirements of an individual user with spinal muscular atrophy.
