Summary
Quentin Talon is a physics educator and former application engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience bridging experimental physics and applied computing. Trained as a physical laboratory technician and holding a BSc and MSc from EPFL plus a teaching MAS, he has moved from lab measurement techniques and payload development (including a muon detector project) into secondary-school physics and computer science instruction. He spent three years delivering engineering solutions at CCIT S.A. and brings practical sensor, energy-harvesting and high-frequency measurement know-how from his EPFL Rocket Team work. Comfortable translating complex experimental concepts for students, Quentin also has leadership experience from student government, scouts and club presidencies. He combines an adventurous streak—having undertaken extensive tandem bicycle touring across Asia—with a methodical technical background, making him adept at hands-on problem solving and experiential learning. Based in Montreux, Switzerland, he focuses on fostering curiosity and rigorous scientific thinking in the classroom.
