Jürgen BruggerI am a Professor of Microengineering and co-affiliated to Materials Science. Before joining EPFL I was at the MESA Research Institute of Nanotechnology at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, and at the Hitachi Central Research Laboratory, in Tokyo, Japan. I received a Master in Physical-Electronics and a PhD degree from Neuchâtel University, Switzerland. Research in my laboratory focuses on various aspects of MEMS and Nanotechnology. My group contributes to the field at the fundamental level as well as in technological development, as demonstrated by the start-ups that spun off from the lab. In our research, key competences are in micro/nanofabrication, additive micro-manufacturing, new materials for MEMS, increasingly for wearable and biomedical applications. Together with my students and colleagues we published over 200 peer-refereed papers and I had the pleasure to supervise over 25 PhD students. Former students and postdocs have been successful in receiving awards and starting their own scientific careers. I am honoured for the appointment in 2016 as Fellow of the IEEE “For contributions to micro and nano manufacturing technology”. In 2017 my lab was awarded an ERC AdvG in the field of advanced micro-manufacturing.
Sabine SüsstrunkProf. Dr. Sabine Süsstrunk leads the Image and Visual Representation Lab in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) at EPFL since 1999. From 2015-2020, she was also the first Director of the Digital Humanities Institute (DHI), College of Humanities (CdH). Her main research areas are in computational photography, computational imaging, color image processing and computer vision, machine learning, and computational image quality and aesthetics. Sabine has authored and co-authored over 200 publications, of which 7 have received best paper/demo awards, and holds over 10 patents. Sabine served as chair and/or committee member in many international conferences on image processing, computer vision, and image systems engineering. She is President of the Swiss Science Council SSC, Founding Member and Member of the Board (President 2014-2018) of the EPFL-WISH (Women in Science and Humanities) Foundation, Member of the Board of the SRG SSR (Swiss Radio and Television Corporation), and Member of the Board of Largo Films. She received the IS&T/SPIE 2013 Electronic Imaging Scientist of the Year Award for her contributions to color imaging, computational photography, and image quality, and the 2018 IS&T Raymond C. Bowman and the 2020 EPFL AGEPoly IC Polysphere Awards for excellence in teaching. Sabine is a Fellow of IEEE and IS&T.
Andrea RidolfiI am a professor of Signal Processing and Communication Technologies at Bern University of Applied Sciences.
Since 2004 I hold a lecturer position at EPFL, teaching “Mathematical Principles of Signal Processing” (Doctoral School, 2004 – 2011), “Statistical Signal and Data Processing through Applications” (Master Program, (2004 – ongoing), and Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Digital Humanities (Master, 2017 – 2019, co-taught with Mathieu Salzmann).
Previously, I have been working as Project Manager and R&D Engineer at EPFL (2011-2014), coordinating the LCAV activities within the NSF – Nanotera project Opensense, and as Project Manager and R&D Engineer with the biomedical signal processing group at CSEM (2006-2011).
Andrei ArdeleanAndrei Ardelean received the B.Sc. degree in Electronics from "Politehnica" University of Timisoara, Timisoara, Romania, in 2015, and the M.Sc. degree in Microelectronics from the Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands, in 2017. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. in the AQUA Laboratory at EPFL. His main research interests are single-photon counting time-correlated image sensors for real time phasor-based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy.
Cédric DucheneI was born in Charleville-Mézières, France, on July 28, 1979.
I graduated in electrical engineering from the University of Reims, France, in 2002. I received the M.S degree in image and signal processing from the University of Cergy-Pontoise, France, in 2003. From October 2003 to September 2007, I have been pursuing a Ph.D. degree at Grenoble National Polytechnical Institute (INPG), France. My supervisors were
Pierre-Olivier Amblard
and
Steeve Zozor
.
I was teaching assistant from October 2006 to August 2007 at the Institute of Technology of Grenoble (IUT GEII2). Since November 2007, I have a post-doctoral position with the LTS1 Team, EPFL and
MOTILIS MEDICA S.A.
.
My research interests are non linear and adaptive signal processing, fluctuations, biomedical signal processing. I am also an organizer of the
Nonlinearity and noise meetings
, a collaboration between several researchers working on the field of nonlinear signal processing.
