As HR responsible of the PopEcol group, I ensure everybody has a proper insurance, gets his/her visa and of course their salary at the end of each month.
When I am not at the IEU, I work on my PhD at the Historical Institute of the University of Zurich. I study medieval history, trying to find out what laws and regulations existed for (christian) pilgrims and how a largely illiterate society knew about their rights and duties when it came to religious travelling. So I spend a lot of my time reading old, Latin documents wondering if the Middle Ages actually provided the basis for the modern HR and insurance industry.
When I am not studying or working, I enjoy learning new (modern) languages, cooking, travelling to medieval places, photography, discovering Switzerland by motorbike and playing basketball. If struck by insomnia I enjoy reading non-medieval books.
