  • Comment: You need to document the article with references that are centered on M.Filippini (e.g., a profile in Bilanz, a description of his work in a mainstream publication). Anywhere that has no connection (and therefore no potential Conflict of interest in publishing a profile). This means that ETH and other former employers are not acceptable in that regard.
