| The professional/education story
so far: Let's start
in Fall 1991: after finishing my matura at the High school
(Kanti Solothurn), I started studying computer
science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zürich . Above, there is a
picture showing some of the students, colleagues and friends that
finished their studies in Computer Science the same time I
did. Starting Spring 97, for one and a half year, I worked as a
scientific assistant in the Image Science Group BIWI at ETH Zürich.
Then in July 98, I moved to the US, to the University of North Carolina
UNC at Chapel Hill and joined
the Department of Computer Science.
I finished my
PhD there in Summer 2001 and then worked for a full year at the Duke
Image
Analysis Laboratory. In Summer 2002, I returned along with my wife Maya
back to
Switzerland, where I worked as a group head in the
Maurice E. Mueller Institute for
Surgical Technology and Biomechanics. 2 years later, we moved back
to the Chapel Hill and now we'll see where the future will take us. |
