Biography

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

Since the very beginning, I assisted and still do assist a number of interesting personalities who lead a wide range of always expending and evolving research activities. Thus, I 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 humor and learning. I commit myself to those tasks assigned to me or those I undertake considering all parties concerned before acting.
