Personal background
I am originally from Geneva in Switzerland, not a bad place,
but a bit overrated according to this
world-wide city rankings.
Here is my curriculum vitae

As a highlight, I was selected in 1995 for the international
Leslie Fox Prize in numerical analysis and I was awarded a second prize,
previous prizewinners include people like
L.N. Trefethen,
N.J. Higham,
J.W. Demmel, and
A.M. Stuart.
