I am in the process of moving from the Paul Scherrer Insitut to the ETH Zurich, although I am maintatining research activity in collaboration with colleagues at the PSI. This page is essentially a placeholder as I set up new web pages at ETHZ. At some point this page will be replaced with a redirect to these new pages!
