Simon Hubert Prêcheur-Llarena

Simon Hubert Prêcheur-Llarena serves as a Scientific Assistant at the Micromechanical and Horological Design Laboratory (INSTANT-LAB) within the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at EPFL's School of Engineering, while simultaneously pursuing doctoral research in Advanced Manufacturing through the EDAM program. His institutional affiliation spans both research staff and doctoral candidate roles at Switzerland's premier engineering institution.

His research concentrates on the intersection of Mechanical Engineering and precision mechanical systems, with specialized expertise in Micromechanics and Horology—the science of timekeeping mechanisms—alongside Advanced Manufacturing methodologies. The INSTANT-LAB environment fosters innovation in micro-engineered components, particularly for horological applications where Swiss industry leadership demands extreme precision.

As an active member of INSTANT-LAB, Prêcheur-Llarena contributes to projects bridging traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with contemporary micromechanical design. While his dual appointment indicates significant technical involvement, public documentation does not specify advised students, grant acquisitions, or award recognitions at this career stage.
