Sandrine GerberSandrine Gerber studied chemistry at the "Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris" in France, where she obtained a diploma of chemical engineer in 1993. The same year she obtained a DEA (Master degree) of organic chemistry at the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI, France). From 1993 to 1996 she did a PhD in organic chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Pierre Genêt at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris. In 1996, she moved to University of Lausanne for a post-doctoral stay under the supervision of Prof. Pierre Vogel. In 1998, she was appointed Maître-Assistante at the Institute of Organic Chemistry in the University of Lausanne. In 2003, she obtained the habilitation to direct research from the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI, France). The same year, she was appointed scientific adjunct at the EPFL and senior scientist (Maître d'Enseignement et de Recherche) in 2006. In December 2014, she was promoted to titular professor. Since September 2007, Sandrine Gerber is deputy to the director of the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering (ISIC). She is also member of the Board of Directors of the Swiss Chemical Society. Since 2007, Sandrine Gerber is part-time lecturer at the university of Fribourg. She was awarded the Prize Eugene Schueller in 1997, the Prize Dufour for prospective organic chemistry in 2005 and the Werner Prize 2010. She also received a special mention in recognition of exceptional quality of pedagogic competencies in the teaching of basic sciences, given by the Direction of the School of Biology and Medicine from the University of Lausanne, in 2013. In October 2018, she will receive the Prize for Excellence in Teaching from the section of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Camille Véronique Bernadette GoemansCamille's research focuses on understanding how antibiotics and non-antibiotic drugs affect the diverse bacteria from the human gut microbiota and how they contribute to dysbiosis and the development of antibiotic resistance. To achieve this goal, she combines systems approaches with molecular microbiology, bacterial genetics and biochemistry.She obtained her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biomedical Sciences from the UCLouvain, Belgium, after which she completed her PhD (FRIA national fellowship) at th
Paolo BenettinI was born in Padova, Italy, in 1986. After high school, I started the Environmental Engineering program at the University of Padova (Bachelor and Master), where I followed the 'soil protection' curriculum. During my Master studies I spent a semester as Erasmus student at Wageningen University (Wageningen, the Netherlands) to follow courses in Hydrology. After graduation, I decided to bring my education further and I started a Ph.D. at the civil and environmental engineering department at the University of Padova. My Ph.D. thesis focused on hydrologic transport and travel time distributions at the catchment scale. My contribution to the subject included both new theoretical formulations and extensive numerical applications to real catchments. During my Ph.D., I also spent 7 months as visiting research fellow at Virginia Tech University (Blacksburg, USA). Since I arrived at EPFL as post-doc in 2015, I started being involved in field and experimental activities, which allowed me to learn about practical experimental problems. In 2017 I had the opportunity to by hired by the ECHO laboratory as a permanent scientist, conducting research in the field of catchment hydrology.

My current work involves: (I) elucidating the formation mechanisms of carcinogenic/mutagenic N-nitrosamines in aquatic systems under varying environmental conditions, (II) developing new analytical tools to detect and quantify N-nitroso compounds in water and biological fluids, and (III) elucidating the role of disinfection agents in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater

Natacha PascheDr. Natacha Tofield Pasche est une limnologiste, qui s'intéresse particulièrement aux processus biogeochimiques dans les lacs. Ingénieure en Environnement de l'EPFL, elle a réalisé son doctorat sur le cycle des nutriments et la production de méthane au lac Kivu . Au Rwanda de 2009 à 2013, elle a créé un programme de surveillance pour limiter les impacts potentiels de l'extraction du méthane dans le lac Kivu. Depuis le septembre 2013, elle est l'Adjointe du Directeur du Centre de Limnologie à l'EPFL. Elle a coordonné la science, la logistique des campagnes de mesures et les finances de deux larges programmes de recherche. Le premier visait à comprendre la vie sous la glace lacustre face au réchauffement climatique, et le deuxième avait pour but de cartographier la qualité des eaux des lacs avec des images aériennes novatrices. En tant que cheffe de projet, elle a piloté la création de la plateforme LéXPLORE pour des mesures innovantes sur le Léman et coordonne les différents projets de recherche.
