His research interests include machine learning, signal processing theory, optimization theory and methods, and information theory. Dr. Cevher is an ELLIS fellow and was the recipient of the Google Faculty Research award in 2018, the IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award in 2016, a Best Paper Award at CAMSAP in 2015, a Best Paper Award at SPARS in 2009, and an ERC CG in 2016 as well as an ERC StG in 2011.
Damir Filipovic
Damir Filipovic holds the Swissquote Chair in Quantitative Finance and is Swiss Finance Institute Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Prior to this, he was head of the Vienna Institute of Finance and professor at the University of Vienna. He previously held the chair of financial and insurance mathematics at the University of Munich, and he was on the faculty of Princeton University. He received his Ph.D. in mathematics from ETH Zurich in 2000. Damir Filipovic worked as a scientific consultant for the Swiss Federal Office of Private Insurance from 2003 to 2004. There he co-developed the Swiss Solvency Test, which defines the regulatory capital requirement for all Swiss based insurance companies and groups. He is on the editorial board of several academic journals. His research interests include the term structure of interest rates, credit and volatility risk, quantitative methods in risk management, and stochastic processes. His papers have been published in a variety of academic journals including the Journal of Financial Economics, Mathematical Finance, Finance and Stochastics, and the Annals of Applied Probability. He is the author of a textbook titled Term-Structure Models.
Charles Stuart
D'origine britannique, Charles Alexander Stuart est né à Newmachar (Ecosse) le 5 juin 1945. Il étudie les mathématiques à l'Université d'Aberdeen, où il obtient une licence (B.Sc.) en 1967, et à Oxford, où il a fait son doctorat (D.Phil) en 1970.
De 1970 à 1974, il est lecteur au Département de mathématiques de l'Université du Sussex. Un congé lui permet de passer deux ans (1973-1975) à Genève, comme chercheur à l'Institut Battelle. Pendant l'année académique 1975-1976, il est lecteur à l'Université d'Aberdeen. Il est nommé professeur extraordinaire à l'EPFL en 1975 et professeur ordinaire en 1982.
Il donne des cours d'analyse à plusieurs sections d'ingénieurs (1er cycle). Pour les 2e et 3e cycles, il traite les équations différentielles et l'analyse fonctionnelle. Ses recherches portent sur les mêmes branches; elles concernent surtout des problèmes de bifurcation qui se présentent dans la modélisation de phénomènes physiques.
Il a passé un premier congé sabbatique (1982-1983) à l'Université de Heriot-Watt et un deuxième (1989-1990) à l'Université Cornell, aux Etats-Unis
Colin Neil Jones
Colin Jones is an Associate Professor in the Automatic Control Laboratory at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. He was a Senior Researcher at the Automatic Control Lab at ETH Zurich until 2011 and obtained a PhD in 2005 from the University of Cambridge for his work on polyhedral computational methods for constrained control. Prior to that, he was at the University of British Columbia in Canada, where he took a BASc and MASc in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics. Colin has worked in a variety of industrial roles, ranging from commercial building control to the development of custom optimization tools focusing on retail human resource scheduling. His current research interests are in the theory and computation of predictive control and optimization, and their application to green energy generation, distribution and management.
Devis Tuia
I come from Ticino and studied in Lausanne, between UNIL and EPFL. After my PhD at UNIL in remote sensing, I was postdoc in Valencia (Spain), Boulder (CO) and EPFL, working on model adaptation and prior knowledge integration in machine learning. In 2014 I became Research Assistant Professor at University of Zurich, where I started the 'multimodal remote sensing' group. In 2017, I joined Wageningen University (NL), where I was professor of the GeoInformation Science and Remote Sensing Laboratory. Since 2020, I joined EPFL Valais, to start the ECEO lab, working at the interface between Earth observation, machine learning and environmental sciences.
