Reinart Andreas J. CoosemansTeaching & PhD Courses General physics : mechanics PHYS-101(a) Give the student the basic notions that will allow him or her to have a better understanding of physical phenomena, such as the mechanic of point masses. Acquire the capacity to analyse quantitatively the consequences of these effects with appropriate theoretical tools.
Alexandre Brea RodriguezTeaching & PhD Courses Selected topics in nuclear and particle physics PHYS-400 This course presents the physical principles and the recent research developments on three topics of particle and nuclear physics: the physics of neutrinos, dark matter, and plasmas of quarks and gluons. An emphasis is given on experimental aspects in these three research fields.
Ming Yin Kenneth LeeI am Kenneth Lee, a PhD student in Plasma Physics at EPFL Swiss Plasma Center under the supervision of Christian Theiler. My research focuses on understanding edge plasma physics of TCV tokamak via the Reciprocating Divertor Probe Array (RDPA) diagnostic. Prior to EPFL, I read for a BA in Physics and an MMathPhys in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics, both at St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford, and I subsequently spent almost two years working as deep tech venture capital investor. I was raised and educated in Hong Kong.
