François Delavy (Born DD:MM:YYYY) is a natur and data loving scientist. François was born and raised in Switzerland and attended the EPFL before starting his career as an states employee. He is currently living in exile in the US for reasons that the reasons. And by the way: Just married.

The early life of Francois
Little is known (to us) about François childhood. Both Parents are working in the medical field. He has two siblings and grew up in the Canton of Fribourg. ''That's it. Here we would be happy if some of you can fill in the blanks.''

Studies and early Career
It is now our turn to fill in some of the blanks. DD:MM:YYYY François is one of the many students arriving at the EPFL for the first day of a long adventure. Over the 5, 6 or 7 years (which is largely depending on your motivation) we shared many hours working and studying all the aspects of lavy, sorry "la vie". This included climbing, cycling, parties and barbecues at the lake and in town. We will spare François and the rest of us the by not showing the pictures now.

At the end, he decided to finish his studies in Berlin. We all agree that he was working for some government even though he never confirmed nor denied this claim. He was measuring brain waves on humans in a dark cellar somewhere in Berlin.

Finally, with his degree in hand he decided to become a states employee. ''A good choice for François. Office hours ranging from 9h00 to 16h30 left him enough time to enjoy Bern and plan his next trips.''

Personal life
François has long been considered as a lonely sheep. His hunt of knowledge, deep training for QPUC and profound love for Science have taken most of his spared time. As destiny is never far away, the legend says that he met the one he was waiting for in the middle of the Mediterranean sea and impressed her using a little quote of Marcel Proust "L'érudition est une fuite loin de notre propre vie que nous n'avons pas le courage de regarder en face."

Food diet
François n'est pas restreint à une alimentation particulière, il aimera tout autant un bon sandwich de satellite, une petite tarte aux fruits ou encore une bonne vielle raclette. Cependant, François tient à toujours garder de l'ordre dans son assiette et mange de façon méthodique: une bouchée de légumes, une bouchée de féculents et une bouchée de viande. Ce qui pourrait être pris pour un toc alimentaire s'avère être la recette de son succès pour un corps svelte et fort, un vrai corps d'athlète.

Behavior
Although François seems to be a relatively calm person, his behavior can be drastically altered when he drinks his favorite beverage. Instead of walking on the pavement he will focus his activities on climbing every neighboring wall, fence, rock or statue; actually on every vertical surface that he will find.

Missed Opportunities
François, a man of many trades, could have ended up in a completely different field. Some we are very sad he did not pursue others less.

It began when his family decided to leave the most beautiful place of Switzerland, even of Earth. A place made of tremendous landscapes and incredible people. A place engraved in the heart of every people who where allowed to enter it. This exodus was never understood but DNA don't lie, a part of François will ever be linked with Valais.

Years ago, an internet phenomena called QPUC changed the way we looked at François. He had been the most knowledgeable of us in many topics but this highlighted the gap even more. VIDEO

During a trip in Norway he displayed a pathetic inability to ride a bike uphill, so the "maillot a pois" will forever remain a dream for him. Nonetheless, François developed a cunning strategy to always arrive first at the end of the day. Like the best sprinters in the pack of the "Tour de France", he let his teammates work for him throughout the whole stage. They were bringing him in the best conditions 100 m from the finish line and he emerged all of a sudden to beat everyone to the punch. For this reason he was called "Mark Cavendish". VIDEO
