Cécile Hébert

Cécile Hébert was born in France in 1970. She obtained her Ingeneer degree (physics) and her PhD degree (design of a new energy filter for transmission electron microscopy, under the direction of Prof. B. Jouffrey) at the Ecole Centrale in Paris. As a post doc with Prof. P. Schattschneider, she was working on the calculation of the fine structure of ionisation edges in EELS. As a research assistant at the Vienna University of Technology, she was one of the main participant to the CHIRALTEM project dealing with the measurement of magnetic circular dichroism in the electron microscope. Teaching & PhD PhD Students Zhantao Deng, Sebastian Cozma Past EPFL PhD Students Pierre Burdet, Simon Schneider, Andi Idhil Ismail, Wenwang Wu, Emad Oveisi, Arthur Brian Aebersold, Loïc Guillaume Fave, Piyush Agrawal, Stéphane Poitel, Hui Chen, Gulnaz Ganeeva Past EPFL PhD Students as codirector Michael Stuer, Guillaume Pasche, Federica Landucci Courses Advanced physics II (thermodynamics) PHYS-105 This course presents thermodynamics as a means of describing a large number of important phenomena in physics, chemistry, and engineering, including transport effects. An introduction to statistical physics reinforces the notions acquired thanks to microscopic modeling. Electron Matter Interactions in Transmission Electron Microscopy PHYS-637 This course will present the fundamentals of electron–matter interactions, as occuring in the energy range available in modern transmission electron microscopes, namely 60-300 keV electrons. Diffraction and high-resolution image formation as well as electron energy-loss spectrometry will be covere General physics : mechanics (flipped classroom) PHYS-101(l) The course establishes the basic notions that will allow the student to have a better understanding of the physical phenomena in mechanics. The students acquires the capability to quantitatively analyse the consequences of these effects with appropriate theoretical tools.
