Elisabeth MuellerTeaching & PhD Courses Multidisciplinary NPs characterization MSE-676 Four experienced scientists will guide students into the world of NPs characterization with different approaches, from laboratory characterization to X-ray/neutron scattering and electron microscopy. The main knowledge acquired will concern the overview of possible complementary technique.
Steven EichenbergerTeaching & PhD Courses Understanding modern Switzerland I HUM-422 This course provides a general introduction to Swiss history, its culture, its economy and its political system since 1848 until today. Understanding modern Switzerland II HUM-465 Based on the knowledge acquired during the fall semester course (Understanding modern Switzerland I), students are asked to work by group of 3-4 students and prepare a paper on a topic previously discussed with the teachers.
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.
