I work for Google Inc., on Gmail and other communication tools. I'm based in Zurich but travel weekly between Paris and Zurich.
I started a PhD in bioinformatics in 2006 but dropped after a year, decided to get some more action out there. I work for Google since then.
François and Ariel described the project to me, I'd be glad to help. It's a great opportunity for me to get back in touch with research and teaching!
