• Researcher - Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (and Imprecise Probability Group) since 2008.

• "if you want something done right, write a program.", Knuth's rule.
• "Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.", V. Scully.
• "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.", Dijkstra.
• "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.", Dijkstra.
• "I sat down and started to type in the entire program in Pascal. After X hours the entire system was entered. Then I tried to compile it all. After fixing a few syntax errors the system compiled. I then tried to typeset a sample piece of TeX. Again after fixing a few errors I got this all to work.", Lipton's short version of Knuth's talk on the first version of TeX.
• "If facts are stubborn and statistics are pliable, imprecise probabilities are wet clay.", myself.
• "The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.", R. M. Brown.
