After graduating in Mathematics at the University of Zurich in 1987, I received a MSc in Computer Science at the Heriott-Watt University in Edinburgh in 1989. This was followed by a period of time where i worked as a programmer for several small companies. In 1998 I started PhD studies at the Institut für Informatik at the University of Zurich and got my PhD in 2003. After my PhD I coauthored two books ("Comprehensive Mathematics for Computer Scientists I+II") and was involved in the "CoreITeM" project, which centered on an on-line course of Mathematics. From 2005 to 2022 1 worked in Prof Zollikofers CAP group where i implement various simulations, most notably QHG.
Skill and Experiences
- Coauthored 2 textbooks for mathematics (“Comprehensive Mathematics for Computer Scientsts I + II”)
- I have years of experience of software development on Linux systems - mainly in C++, but also Python, Java, and bash scripting.
- To manage my code I use SVN and Git on a daily basis.
- Knowledge of parallelisation paradigms such as OpenMP and OpenMPI.
- Some experience with VTK and OpenGL (v2)
- During my work I have also used HPC systems, for example the CSCS in Lugano and the Zurich University’s ScienceCloud.
- Privately, I have also implemented various web sites with AJAX and PHP accessing SQL databases (amongst others a bookkeeping system and a conjugation trainer for Italian verbs).
