I am a graduate of ETH Zurich in Switzerland (1997) and pursued my DPhil as a Greendale Senior Scholar at Merton College at the University of Oxford (UK) from 1998 - 2000. From 2001-2004 I was a Swiss NSF PostDoc at JILA in Boulder Colorado. Since 2004 I am faculty at The University of Arizona. I really enjoy backpacking, road and mountain biking, long distance running with the lab dog and any and all intellectual endeavours.
