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

Jessica Berit VerheijI am a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Landscape Development (LAND). My research focuses on spatial conflicts in growing cities, mainly in relation to urban greening and densification. I am interested in understanding the political processes behind the implementation of sustainability goals and the role of planning and property in urban development.I hold a PhD degree in Geography from the University of Bern. In my PhD research, I analysed how cities can combine urban greening with densificatio
Sascha FeldmannMission
Our lab seeks to transform the way we produce and consume energy as a society, by exploiting the exceptional properties of emerging soft semiconductors. For this, we explore the concept of symmetry breaking in novel soft semiconductors and nanomaterials to control charge, spin and light with these printable materials.We work on uncovering the design rules to enable the next generation of cheap and flexible solar cells & ultra-bright displays, and unlock entirely new applications in quantum informati
