Louis Schell
CS student at ETH Zurich. Building rockets at ARIS. Fully Oxidized
I study computer science at ETH Zurich and spend most of my engineering time at ARIS, where I work on avionics and recovery systems for sounding rockets. I enjoy building things that need to work and take pride in doing them well. I tend to gravitate toward the system-level view and work best in small teams with ambitious goals.
I'm drawn to embedded and real-time software, estimation and control, distributed systems, and anything where performance matters or I get to work with or on cool hardware.
I write a lot of Rust 
. Other than that, I'm into
photography, I run (chasing a 3:30 marathon), and I play tennis.
I am fluent in German and English, and currently based in Zurich.
Currently
- Working on my Bachelor thesis: Performance and Cost Modeling for Distributed Caching and Reuse in DAG-Based Data Analytics, with Ana Klimovic in the Systems Group
- Coaching systems engineering, avionics & recovery for ASTERIA at ARIS
- Helping out with embedded software at ARIS.
- Preparing a rocketry workshop for students at the Institut auf dem Rosenberg on behalf of ARIS.
- Putting together a CanSat kit for the upcoming Swiss CanSat competition, as part of the technical organising team.
