Short Bio
Arvid E. Gollwitzer is a young scholar and entrepreneur. His current research interests are in bioinformatics, clinical genomics, computer architecture for medical applications, drug delivery, acoustic robotics for life sciences, and the early detection of cancer. Throughout his graduate studies in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zurich, he specialized in clinical (meta)genomics, drug delivery techniques, and early-stage cancer detection. Arvid also co-founded NextGuide Medical, where he develops AI assistance technology for visually impaired individuals. His professional experience, teaching, and graduate studies include roles at CERN and the SAFARI Research Group of ETH and CMU, where Prof. Onur Mutlu is his mentor. Arvid has published several works on bioinformatics, metagenomics, and clinical genomics. He also holds an excellence scholarship from the Swiss Study Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting the top 3% of students based on their exceptional academic impact, creativity, and character.
At ETH Zurich, Arvid teaches a project- and research-driven course on Clinical Genomics, offered (for up to 12 students) each semester.
