Hi, my name is…
…Maud, I’m French and I was brought up in the city of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris. I have been living in Switzerland for a few years now. Love brought me here, after 14 years of staying in the UK. My background is signal processing; after a Master in petroleum engineering in Nancy and Edinburgh, I decided to apply my signal processing skills to finding diseases in medical images instead of finding petroleum in geological models of reservoirs. I studied computer-aided diagnostics of breast cancer in x-rays mammograms at Oxford University. I then worked as a software engineer in a London start-up developing markerless radiotherapy positioning systems. When I met my husband eight years ago, he was living in Zurich and I in London. As I was the first to find a new position, we ended up in beautiful Switzerland. I moved from London to Zurich, and also from the world of in vivo to in vitro diagnostics, as the job was at … Roche Diagnostics.
