Brice Tanguy Alphonse LecampionI am currently an assistant Professor and the head of the Geo-Energy Lab - Gaznat Chair on GeoEnergy at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Prior to joining EPFL, I have worked for Schlumberger in research and development from 2006 until May 2015 - serving in a variety of roles ranging from project manager to principal scientist in both Europe and the United States. I received my PhD in mechanics from Ecole Polytechnique, France in 2002 and worked as a research scientist in the hydraulic fracturing research group of CSIRO division of Petroleum resources (Melbourne, Australia) from 2003 to 2006. During my time in Schlumberger R&D, I have worked on problems related to the integrity of deep wells, large scale monitoring of reservoir deformation and more specifically on the stimulation of oil and gas wells by hydraulic fracturing. My current research interests cover hydraulic fracture mechanics, mechanics of porous media and dense suspensions flow.
Vincent KaufmannVincent Kaufmann is associate professor of urban sociology and mobility at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Since 2011, he is also scientific director of the Mobile Lives Forum in Paris. After a master degree in sociology (Universtiy of Geneva) he did his Ph.D. at EPFL on rationalities underlying transport modal practices.

There fields of research are: motility, mobility and urban life styles, links between social and spatial mobility, public policies of land planning and transportation. He recently published “Mobilité et libre circulation en Europe” (with Ander Audikana) Economica (2017).
Marco BakkerMarco Bakker was born in Harlingen in the Netherlands and studied architecture at the TU in Delft with an intermediate year at the EPF in Lausanne. After assistances to Prof. Vincent Mangeat and Kaschka Knapkiewicz, Marco Bakker was from 2003 to 2009 teaching architecture in the Joint Master- Bern, Geneva and Fribourg. Together with Alexandre Blanc they started their office in 1992, first in Fribourg, then Biel and at the moment in Lausanne and Zurich under the name ‘BABL’. In 2009 Bakker & Blanc started to teach as invited professors at the EPF in Lausanne and since 2013 they share here as associate professors the Laboratory for Spatial Manufacturing, MANSLAB.
