Louise Monteyne

Louise Monteyne received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biomedical Engineering from UCLouvain in Belgium. During her studies, she completed an exchange semester at EPFL in Life Sciences Engineering. For her Master's thesis, she investigated the microstructure of native arteries and synthetic vascular grafts using advanced imaging techniques to inform the design of future vascular grafts.

Before starting her PhD, she worked on process digitalization at Siegfried in Switzerland, where she developed applications using Microsoft Power Apps and gained interest in low-code/no-code software development.

Louise is a doctoral student at ETH Zürich's SMS Lab, conducting her research in collaboration with ZHAW School of Engineering as part of the external page DIZH-funded AntiFreeze project. Her research focuses on developing domain modelling and low-code/no-code tools that enable physiotherapists without programming expertise to design and personalize extended reality (XR) scenarios for the rehabilitation of freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease. Alongside her research, she is a teaching assistant for the course No-Code and Low-Code Software Development at ZHAW.

Her research interests include model-driven engineering, digital health and XR-based rehabilitation.
