MGT-801: Sciencepreneurship: from Science to Society

Summary

This summer school provides students with the necessary tools and network to identify and develop the societal impact of research-grounded innovation. Throughout the course, students work in small teams to develop a science-based business concept and present it at the end.

Lectures

Instructor

Christophe Moser

Dr. Christophe Moser is Associate Professor of Microengineering and Industrial Relations at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. He was the co-founder and CEO of Ondax,Inc for ten years prior to joining EPFL. During this decade, he raised $15 million from corporate and venture capital sources to fund volume production of thick holographic components in glass and develop devices enabled by these components such as tunable add-drop multiplexers for telecommunications, ultra-narrowband notch filters for low frequency Raman systems, high power semi-conductor frequency-narrowed pumps for fiber lasers, single frequency fixed and tunable lasers for sensing and femtosecond pulse compressors for micro-machining applications. Dr. Moser has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology, a minor in finance and a bachelor degree in Physics from EPFL. He is the co-inventor of 24 patents, 14 peer reviewed scientific publications, 9 IEEE proceedings and a book chapter. Private interests include tennis, running, ski, basketball and family excursions. 2010: Associate Professor, EPFL, faculty Science Technique Ingenieur. 2000-2010: co-founder, CEO Ondax, Inc. 1995-2000: Graduate Research Assistant, California Institute of Technology. 1993-1995: Engineering Project manager , TESA. 1988-1993: Bachelor candidate in Physics, EPFL.
