About me

It is important to me to understand functional and esthetic prosthetics holistically and to teach them in a practical way. After my training as a dental technician, I completed the master dental technician examination (ZTM) in Zurich and supplemented my specialist knowledge with a diploma in business management in Lugano.

My professional career has taken me to the University of Zurich, where I was head of the dental laboratory in the Department of Masticatory Dysfunctions and Total Prosthetics. I still work there today as an instructor in the dentistry degree program and also teach at the vocational school in Lugano.

My aim is to pass on knowledge in an understandable way and to improve the quality of prosthetics in the long term.
