Learned how to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, with a strong emphasis on real-world applications.

EDUCATION ++

Academic Background:

Ph.D., M.Sc., B.Sc. in Management Science / Management

University of Fribourg (Switzerland) & University of Strathclyde (Scotland)

2002 – 2009

With a strong academic foundation in management science, my research background has shaped the way I conceptualize structure, equilibrium, and resilience—key themes that appear again and again in my sculptural work.

I’ve always been dual by nature: highly logical and analytical—which led me to study mathematics-heavy fields like decision theory—but also deeply intuitive, feminine, and emotionally perceptive. This duality defines not only who I am, but also how I create. My sculptures are born from both intellectual clarity and instinctive feeling—where balance isn’t just a theme, but a lived experience.
