Andrea VezzosiAndrea Vezzosi is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Ursula Rothlisberger at the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, EPFL (Switzerland). He earned his Ph.D. in Physics and Nanosciences from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in 2024, where he investigated spin–orbit coupling and topological states in core–shell semiconductor nanowires. During his doctoral studies, he developed nwkp, an open-source Python library for computing the band structure of core–shell nanowires using
Anne-Florence Raphaëlle BitbolI was trained in physics, and always had a strong interest in biology. I am broadly interested in understanding biological phenomena in a quantitative way, through physical concepts and mathematical and computational tools. I investigate the relative impacts of optimization and historical contingency in biological evolution, both at the scale of protein sequences and at the scale of microbial populations.Here is my research group website.Curriculum vitae Here is my complete CV.
