Since January 1998, I am on leave from Stanford to start VMware, Inc.
I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. Mendel Rosenblum is my advisor.

I work in the FLASH , Disco, and SimOS projects. My interests include operating systems, computer architecture, machine simulation, and system support for parallelizing compilers. I also started the SimOS-Alpha project as a research consultant for the Digital Western Research Laboratory.

I graduated in 1994 from the Computer Science Department of the Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) in Zurich, Switzerland. There, I did some work both theory and computer systems.

I was raised in the small (and beautiful) city of Neuchatel and in the small (and better known) city of Geneva, both in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. I do my best to have a life, but don't plan to write a web page about it.
