-University of Lausanne and obtained his Ph.D. in Logic and Set Theory at
-the Free University of Brussels. He is the main author of several
-commercial, open source and research programs and contributed to a number
-of them, most notably in the fields of computer graphics and 3D modelling,
-education, and programming languages. He recently developed in the Psyco
-project novel techniques for efficient interpretation of dynamic programming
-languages. He is also a member and contributor of the TUNES Project for a
-Free Reflective Computing System.
