I was born in Ticino (the southern part of Switzerland where people speak Italian) in 1974. I lived there until 1993 when I moved to Zürich to study computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

After graduation I joined the Laboratory for Software Technology under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Gross to work in the field of compiler construction. I defended my thesis Approximating the Worst-Case Execution Time of Soft Real-Time Applications in March 2005.

After working for three month as as a compiler engineer at Freescale Semiconductor in Schlieren, Zürich, Switzerland I joined in November 2005 the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since May 2008 I am head of the Web Applications and Identity Management group of the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since October 2010 I moved to Bern.

comment Deleting all C comments with sed
Perl will only solve the problem of comments on more than one line. Comments cannot be specified with a simple regex: think about comments in strings (that should not be removed) or something like /* /* */.

comment How to find what device a file is on (and use that in a script)?
It is the usual UNIX way if there is no single command to do it. As @derobert commented you can just use stat -f "%Sdf".
