OrbEat

Food, its cultivation, preparation and consumption as well as the connected service, products and emotions are a cultural heritage. A variety of databases capture the importance and the different “flavors” of food but do not map the associated emotions. We aim at bridging this gap using augmented reality, embedded technologies and other digital means.

He is interested in how citizens and scientists could have a better analytic view of data to take more informed decision and to support more effectively their research. Having worked in both academia (University of Geneva, University of Applied Science of Western Switzerland) and the private sector (Capgemini Paris, start-up), he can build bridges between the two mindsets. He enjoys designing global and innovative solutions to complex problems, turning them into working and pragmatic systems using cutting-edge technologies, and contributing to meaningful and pioneering projects.
