Paul Dyson joined the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering at the EPFL in 2002 where he heads the Laboratory of Organometallic and Medicinal Chemistry and between 2008 and 2016 chaired the Institute. He has won several prizes including the Werner Prize of the Swiss Chemical Society in 2004, the Award for Outstanding Achievements in Bioorganometallic Chemistry in 2010, the Centennial Luigi Sacconi Medal of the Italian Chemical Society in 2011, the Bioinorganic Chemistry Award of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2015, the European Sustainable Chemistry Award of the European Chemical Society in 2018 and the Green Chemistry Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2020. He is also a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher and has an H-index >110 (web of science and google scholar). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2010, a Fellow of the European Academy of Science in 2019 and a life-long fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2020. Over the years he has held visiting professorships at the University of Bourgogne, University of Pierre et Marie Curie, University of Vienna, University of Rome Tor Vergara, Chimie Paristech and Shangai Jiao Tong University.Since 2016 he has been Member of the Council of the Division of Mathematics, Natural and Engineering Sciences at the Swiss National Science Foundation.Between 2016-2021 he has been Member of the Council of the Division of Mathematics, Natural and Engineering Sciences at the Swiss National Science Foundation. In 2021 he was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Basic Sciences.
Jean-Philippe Brantut
I did my PhD at the Institut d'Optique under the direction of Philippe Bouyer and Alain Aspect, before moving to ETHZ in the group of Tilman Esslinger, first as a post-doc then as a senior scientist. There I developed in particular the method allowing for a quantum simulation of nano-electronic devices with ultracold quantum gases.Since september 2016, I hold the Fondation Sandoz chair in physics of quantum gases at EPFL. There, my group has developed the first cold atoms machine combining Fermi gases with cavity-quantum electrodynamics. We use it to explore new ways of measuring and manipulating quantum matter.
René Monot
D'origine vaudoise, René Monot est né à Lausanne le 10 août 1943; c'est dans cette ville qu'il effectue ses études secondaires. Il suit les cours de la section de physique de l'Ecole polytechnique de l'Université de Lausanne, où il obtient son diplôme en 1966. Il est ensuite assistant, puis premier assistant du prof. Jean-Pierre Borel sous la direction duquel il réalise une thèse de doctorat sur les propriétés magnétiques des petites particules d'argent de quelques nanomètres de diamètre. Après sa thèse, de 1975 à 1978, il est engagé à l'Université de Californie, à Berkeley (Etats-Unis) pour y poursuivre, dans le laboratoire du prof. W.D. Knight, une recherche sur le magnétisme des amas d'atomes. Depuis son retour en Suisse, il travaille à l'Institut de physique expérimentale où il a la fonction d'adjoint scientifique dès 1981. Il est nommé professeur titulaire en 1985. Il enseigne aux étudiants de la section électricité, l'introduction à la mécanique quantique et il est chargé du cours de physique des surfaces pour le 2e et 3e cycle. Ses projets de recherche portent sur la physique des amas d'atomes métalliques, des interactions molécules-surfaces et des stades initiaux de la croissance épitaxiale.
