I was born in Ticino (the southern part of Switzerland where people speak Italian) in 1974. I lived there until 1993 when I moved to Zürich to study computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

After graduation I joined the Laboratory for Software Technology under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Gross to work in the field of compiler construction. I defended my thesis Approximating the Worst-Case Execution Time of Soft Real-Time Applications in March 2005.

After working for three month as as a compiler engineer at Freescale Semiconductor in Schlieren, Zürich, Switzerland I joined in November 2005 the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since May 2008 I am head of the Web Applications and Identity Management group of the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since October 2010 I moved to Bern.

comment Is there any way to open an “incognito” Terminal/shell?
It is the only place where the shell stores the history but if something else (e.g., a backup program) copies the history file somewhere else you will have to delete it also there.

comment How can i remove <eof> characters in a text document
Either you really have the string "<eof>" in your input (just check with an editor) or as I expect you are reaching the end of the input file and by definition there cannot be more than one end of a file (or stream).

comment Apache 2 Permission for Download Data
Read permission is enough: chmod 644. With 775 you are giving execute permission and write permission to the group (both not necessary)
