Maxime Holdener

Co-President

PhD | Merkt Group

Originally from Geneva, I studied at EPFL before coming to ETH Zurich for my Master’s and now my PhD in molecular physics. I’m passionate about research and teaching and channel that same energy into sports, competing in cycling and badminton. At the heart of it, though, what drives me most are the meaningful relationships I nurture along the way.
