Women in Engineering: Do what I want

Get Together – Women in Engineering: Women continue to make significant contributions in engineering fields, yet they remain underrepresented. This event offers an empowering platform to celebrate their accomplishments and connect with an industry speaker who shares relatable experiences and insights. It’s an occasion to share ideas, exchange experiences, and foster connections. Together, let’s celebrate the diverse perspectives that enrich the engineering landscape. Afterwards, network with like-minded individuals at the Apéro. We’re excited to welcome you to this celebration of women’s achievements in engineering.

Speaker: Starting from her PhD study at the MIT Humanoid Robotic Laboratory, Lijin Aryananda Blatter has been working in the field of Robotics for over 15 years. Crossing the ocean in 2007, she took her first job as a Post-doctoral researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in the University of Zürich. Switching to a career path in industry, she took on a series of positions – CTO at QualySense AG, Technical Project Leader at HocomaAG, Head of Robotic Platform at Wyss Zurich, and CTO at Auxivo AG. Currently, she is conducting research in AI for tomography reconstruction at the ZHAW.

In her talk, Lijin will share her educational and professional journey through three different continents and the most important lessons she has learned, about being an engineer, a leader, a woman, a mother and a person.
