I received my Master of Science Electrical Engineering from ETH Zurich in 2003 and my Doctor of Sciences from ETH Zurich in October 2008. Currently, I am a Post Doc in the group of Prof. Y.H. Kim at the Information Theory and Applications Center, University of California, San Diego. My research interests are in digital communications and information theory, and in particular in multi-user information theory.
