Ever since Sebastian Stapfer has been fascinated by technical systems. After an initial year of studying biology at the University in Zürich, Switzerland, he has changed over to study systems engineering with specialization in automation at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland. During his diploma thesis, which he accomplished in 2007 to obtain a degree as Dipl. Ing. Systemtechnik FH, he became engaged in mechatronics, an interdisciplinary area between engineering, electronics and informatics. Currently, Sebastian works as scientific assistant at University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, and is engaged in the practical education and students training in the trinational (CH-D-F) study course for mechatronics engineers.
