PhD Researcher — HEAD Genève / EPFL
I am a PhD researcher working between HEAD – Genève and EPFL, examining the political economy of GPU miniaturization by bridging communities situated at opposite ends of the device's lifecycle: liquid-nitrogen overclockers in Taipei, Taiwan, and urban miners in Agbogbloshie, Ghana.
My practice combines academic research and fieldwork with hands-on critical and speculative design projects, working across research-creation methodologies to disentangle the material, environmental, and knowledge infrastructures that computational systems depend on and obscure.
Alongside this research, I co-organize workshops, residencies, and summer schools that connect design students with second-hand computer dealers, repairers, and scrap-metal casters — reframing e-waste sites not as endpoints but as living ecosystems of knowledge and labour.
