Athanasios NenesTeaching & PhD PhD Students Berkay Dönmez, Ernest Abboud Past EPFL PhD Students Paraskevi Georgakaki, Lucile Ricard Courses Atmospheric processes: from cloud to global scales ENV-407 The main objective is to present important atmospheric processes from the local to global scales. The course will start with cloud processes, continue to synoptic phenomena like extratropical cyclones and fronts, to finally cover numerical modeling at the regional and global scales.

Distributed Machine Learning, Robustness, Safety, Optimization, Multi-Agent, Bandits in Graphs
I am a postdoctoral researcher at école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne since 2022, where I work with Rachid Guerraoui on robustness of distributed machine learning algorithms. From 2018 to 2022, I completed my Ph.D. in computer science at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL on multi-agent bandits in graphs under the supervision of Yann Chevaleyre, Rida Laraki, Igor Colin, and Albert Thomas.Pre-prints Over

Sanggyu ChongSanggyu "Raymond" Chong obtained his BS, MS and PhD degrees in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), where he primarily focused on the computational design of metal-organic frameworks for applications ranging from gas storage to functional electronics. In March 2022, Sanggyu joined COSMO as a postdoctoral researcher, and he is currently investigating the robustness of local and/or component-wise predictions made by atomistic machine learning m
Nicolas ThomäTeaching & PhD PhD Students David Domjan, Pierre Alexander Miranda Herrera, Laurin Tim Kanis, Alessandro Minafra, Pau Reolid Coll Courses Practical - Thomä Lab BIO-624 Expression and purification of recombinant proteins are key methods in our lab studying protein machines on a structural level and ways in which they can be reprogrammed by small molecules. In the course, we will express and purify proteins and biophysically characterise them. Trends in chemical biology and drug discovery

I obtained my PhD (2012-2018) in KU Leuven/VIB, Belgium where I investigated astrocyte heterogeneity using single cell transcriptomics. During this period I developed tools to acutely and specifically isolate astrocytes from adult brain and identified five astrocyte subtypes in the cortex and hippocampus of mouse brain expanding previous understanding of astrocyte variability.Following my PhD, I did my first post-doc in
Pedro Correa FernandezPedro Correa Fernández is a Doctoral Candidate in Architecture at Columbia GSAPP. Before joining GSAPP, he was an adjunct professor at the Architecture School of Universidad Católica de Chile where he taught seminars and lectures on architecture history and related epistemological, aesthetic, and political issues. His current work examines the mediations between technical knowledge, artisanal crafts, and global industrial capitalism in early nineteenth-century Latin America.Pedro holds an architecture degre
