Coordination Team
Adriana Neves Vieira
As a PhD student in the Morandi group, I specialize in phosphorus chemistry while also maintaining an active collaboration with biochemists at Uni Bern. Outside of research, I like bouldering, surfing (when I can) and writing blog posts. I joined WiNS to cultivate a reliable network and a true sense of belonging for women in science.
Patricia Brandl
I am a student in Computational Chemistry and have joined WiNS right from the start, as I really appreciate this engaged and exciting community of fellow women scientists. Outside of ETH, I spend most of my time outdoors, be it biking, hiking, rowing or going for a swim + ice cream!
Valentina Sanella
I'm a PhD student in D-MATL and PSI, I am interested in battery chemistry. My main hobbies are reading and dancing.
External Relations Team
Tara Lukic
Hi, my name is Tara and I am studying Biology at ETH. I spent many years as a competitive swimmer and still enjoy staying active through sports in my free time. I joined WiNS because I believe in growing, learning, and supporting each other, and I’m really excited to meet and connect with everyone. I love spending quality time with family and friends, especially when we cook and share meals together. I’m also a big coffee lover and always happy to chat over a cup!
Chairwomen
Tatiana Da Silva-Ferreira
I'm a 3rd-year chemistry PhD student in supramolecular chemistry. Outside of the lab, I enjoy all things crafty, outdoorsy, or food related! I look forward to connecting with more women in D-CHAB and beyond
Carla Ferradini
I am doing my PhD in the Quantum Information Theory group of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, working on quantum cryptography and foundations of quantum mechanics. After work, I’m mostly doing sports in ASVZ or the climbing gym, or into some random crafty project. While in the weekends I’m surely off in the mountains either climbing on rocks or ice, hochtouring, skiing or hiking.
Marketing Team
Yiyao Hu
I am currently a PhD student in D-MATL trying to know more about soft materials. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the kitchen, whether cooking or baking. When not there, you can find me at the swimming pool, in the gym or in ASVZ dancing courses.

Politics Team
Olivia Manatschal
I am a PhD student in the Mougel Group at D-CHAB. Outside of research, I enjoy running and staying active. I like discovering new places, spending time with friends, and taking advantage of the easy access to nature in Zurich, whether it is going for a run outdoors, enjoying the lake in summer, or the mountains in winter.
Elise Komarczuk
Elise is a PhD candidate in the Jeschke Group in the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry (LPC). In her free time she likes to dance, do yoga, play the harp and spend time outside on the mountains, skiing and hiking!
