Anne-Florence Raphaëlle BitbolI was trained in physics, and always had a strong interest in biology. I am broadly interested in understanding biological phenomena in a quantitative way, through physical concepts and mathematical and computational tools. I investigate the relative impacts of optimization and historical contingency in biological evolution, both at the scale of protein sequences and at the scale of microbial populations.Here is my research group website.Curriculum vitae Here is my complete CV.

Beate JesselMission
Beate Jessel is a landscape planner and landscape ecologist who deals with various issues of landscape development. She works on planning theory and methodology, landscapes and governance, comprehensive approaches to nature conservation including human needs and perceptions, nature in the city, environmental impact assessments and the integration of renewable energies into landscapes. With regard to architecture, her main interest is the relationship between the built and the "green" environment, in
Christoph BachofenExpertise
As an urban plant ecophysiologist I'm interested in how the vegetation in urban systems interacts with the local microclimate. In particular, I study the mechanisms by which trees cope with extreme urban heat, and how their presence modulates the urban climate through transpiration cooling, shading and more.For my research, I combine mostly tree-level measurements, such as gas exchange and heat tolerance, with process-based modelling to scale to the urban canyon and beyond. I'm interested in compa
