Alain Sandoz

I graduated in Mathematics at Neuchâtel University and in Computer
Engineering at EPFL in Lausanne, where I earned my PhD in Distributed Computing Systems in 1992. I am lecturer and titulary professor of Computer Science (affiliated to the universities of Neuchâtel, Fribourg and Bern, as well as the BEJUNE normal school). Since my thesis, my work was concerned with designing distributed platforms for public or private entities, teaching, and to a lesser extent, publishing my work. I was CTO of the Swiss bureau of agriculture, where I lead the team that introduced the first nation-wide agricultural data management system in 1996, and between 1998 and 2001 of the Federal Ministry of the Economy. I designed Geneva’s e-administration platform and worked on e-voting and e-education for the cantons of Geneva and Neuchâtel.
