Probably because of my background in media sciences, I maintained a database of articles about the AI Lab or about Lab members and worked as part-time secretary, before a fresh breeze in the form of Sladjana Ravlija swept through the AI Lab :-)

Now I'm focusing on the ShanghAI Lectures project, where I'm the coordinator (Thierry Bücheler was PM for the ShanghAI Lectures in 2009) -- and eventually I'm going to finish my PhD...
