Statement

I strongly believe that science-engineering-human-nature are interwoven networks creating a particular and closely knit community which must be kept in balance for all those's welfare, durability and evolution. We can only move forward by working all together with respect and understanding.

Biography

I joined EPFL in 1998 after some 15 years as consultant, translator for services and international companies as well as Executive and personal assistant positions (F-Eng-It-Ger) to international import-export companies in Europe & Middle East. 

Since the very beginning, I've assisted and still do assist a number of interesting personalities who lead a wide range of always expanding, evolving and amazing research activities. I thus acquired a large experience on the complexities of academic life which was initially totally new to me. 

On a more personal level, I am curious of what surrounds me, enjoy harmony, good humour and learning. I commit myself to those tasks assigned to me or those I undertake considering all parties concerned before acting. Communication and transparency are important to me to follow and reach my objectives and purpose although ethics and confidentiality are the key to any such.
