Simon HolzerHi, I am Simon Holzer. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering with a focus on microtechnology from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) in 2020 and 2022, respectively. I am currently working towards Ph.D. in the Integrated Actuators Laboratory (LAI) at EPFL in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. My research interests lie in the field of soft robotics, artificial muscles, and biomechanics.

Sangwoo KimSangwoo Kim is set to join EPFL as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in September 2023. Prior to his appointment at EPFL, he served as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He earned his graduate degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where his research delved into the relationships between statistics, geometry, and mechanical states in cellular matters. Currently, his research focus on fundamental understanding of biological and living systems, as well as the study of soft and active matter employing principles from mechanics and physics. His research interests encompass embryonic development, tissue morphogenesis, structure and mechanics of soft materials, inherent structure of amorphous materials, and non-equilibrium dynamics of active matter.
Junrui ChenJunrui Chen was born in 1995 in Jinhua, China.
He achieved his BSc. in mechanism and its automation from Beihang University(BUAA), Beijing in 2017. Meanwhile, he also gets a second degree in Business administration and management. He graduated with MSc. at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany in 2021, majored in medical technology (IBT, Instituts für Biomedizinische Technik) and Biomems technology (IMT, Institute of Microstructure Technology).
In March 2022 he joined Integrated Circuits Laboratory (ICLAB) at EPFL and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Microsystems and Microelectronics under the supervision of Prof. Sandro Carrara. His current research field is based on silicon memristive nanowire, which is a cross-discipline project supported by expertise in Microstructure technology, promoted by a solid background in Machinery and Electronics, and supplemented by programming skills.
