Glad to have taken part in the Luxembourg Science Festival 2025.
I presented the EURL ECVAM Virtual Reality lab by showcasing live demos of the virtual lab environment, an effort focused on making scientific training and alternatives to animal testing more accessible and engaging through immersive technology.

The project was developed by the Publications Office of the European Union for the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

Our latest research article has just been published in the Future Internet MDPI journal.

In this paper, we explore how to make IoT dashboards more accessible for visually impaired users using AI-generated descriptions. By integrating accessible design principles and AI technologies, we propose a user-centered solution that bridges a critical digital inclusion gap. This work reflects our belief that technology should empower everyone—and that accessibility must be a core feature, not an afterthought.

Special thanks to my co-authors and everyone who supported this work!

Celebrating Europe Day 2025 in Luxembourg with a mission: empowering the next generation to stay safe online!

I had the pleasure of presenting Cyber Defenders, a Europol-developed educational game that teaches kids and teens about cybersecurity through engaging, gamified experiences.

Cybersecurity awareness starts early, and tools like Cyber Defenders make learning both fun and impactful.

Throwback to December 2019 🇪🇺 Four years ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a workshop at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. Experiences like this played an important role in shaping my professional path and deepening my interest in international cooperation and institutional work. A good reminder of how early opportunities contribute to long-term growth.
