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 Why won't my Minix start?
The fact that it runs Ubuntu does not mean that it should run Minix. Which Minix version? Could you be more precise on the last message(s) you get?

comment Pressing Enter key on Mac renames the file
Sorry if this seems harsh but why did you get a Mac if you don't want to unlearn 12 years of Windows? Even if you solve this problems you will never have the same system.

comment How to know if your computer is hit by a dnschanger virus?
@Sampo just pick one. They will all work, and if you really need a definitive answer click on all of them it will take no more than one minute to test it yourself.

comment Enable simple password for root user on CentOS
I don't think you should use simple passwords but this as far as I know this message is just a warning, you can continue confirm the password and it will be set.
