Peter Wolf is a senior researcher at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. In addition to assistive and therapeutic technologies for people with neuromuscular impairments, he develops devices for measuring performance in sports. In climbing, he is currently focusing on recording the forces per rung on a campus board and on markerless movement analysis in bouldering. Peter organised the 2nd IRCRA Congress in Pontresina and the 6th IRCRA Congress in Bern and is trying to strengthen the exchange with the IFSC.

Kaja entered the research world to follow her passion for climbing research after graduating from university with a state examination in sports and biology. As a PhD student at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany, her personal and professional goals are to explore the effects of training on climbing performance and to establish more standardized procedures in performance diagnostics. She can be credited with the publication of multiple articles in these areas. Kaja joined the IRCRA in  2021 and was elected to the Executive Board in 2023. When she`s not busy working, you can find her in the climbing gym training others or enjoying some time on the wall herself.
