Martyn Douglas WakemanDr. Martyn Wakeman is a seasoned professional in advanced composites with a proven record of 20 yrs, spanning academia and global corporations. He has worked in M&A deep dive projects in the Advanced Composites Space and has a proven publication (80 ) and patent (30) history in the development of continuous fibre thermoplastic composites from formulation, processing, to applications. He is currently attached at 50% to the Laboratory for Processing of Advanced Composites at the EPFL focused on 3D printing and advanced composites and also available as an independent consultant.
Prior to this role he worked at DuPont from 2007-2016 in Geneva, Switzerland where he worked to drive the development strategy and led research of the DuPont Vizilon thermoplastic composites offer including continuous carbon and glass reinforced composites. From 1997 to 2007 he was a Scientific Collaborator at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, EPFL, in which he was Head of the Composite and Polymer Laboratory's "Industrial implementation group", located in the EPFL science park, focused on the automotive industry both in Europe and North America. He has a PhD in mechanical engineering focused on composites.

Jeffrey HuangJeffrey Huang is the Director of the Institute of Architecture at EPFL (starting May 1, 2020), that comprises 25 laboratories and groups. He is also the Head of the Media x Design Laboratory and a Full Professor in Architecture and Computer Science, at the Faculty of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC), and at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC). He holds a DiplArch from ETH Zurich, and Masters and Doctoral Degrees from Harvard University, where he was awarded the Gerald McCue medal for academic excellence. He started his academic career as a researcher at MIT’s Sloan School of Management (Center for Coordination Sciences). In 1998 he returned to Harvard as an Assistant Professor of Architecture and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2001. In 2006 he was named Full Professor at EPFL in Switzerland where he holds joint professorships at I&C and ENAC, and heads the Media x Design Lab. He was also a Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University, a Visiting Fellow at Stanford University’s d.school, a Honorary Visiting Professor at the University of Sheffield, and a Berkman Fellow and Faculty Associate at Harvard University (Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society). Professor Huang’s research examines the convergence of physical and digital architecture. His recent work investigates new artificial design paradigms (design decoding and encoding), theories of experience design, and the application of algorithmic urbanism in Chinese cities. His current teaching examines the possible role of artificial intelligence in architecture (see MxD studios). In collaboration with Muriel Waldvogel, he heads Convergeo, an award-winning, international strategic and experience design firm. From 2014-2017, while on leave from EPFL, he led the creation of a ground-breaking, new school of architecture in Singapore, as the Head of the Architecture and Sustainable Design Pillar at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), established in collaboration with MIT.
Gérard GremaudOriginaire du canton de Fribourg (Suisse), Gérard Gremaud est né en 1949. Après des études classiques au Collège St Michel à Fribourg, il obtient un diplôme d'ingénieur-physicien en 1974 et un doctorat ès science en 1981 à l'EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). Ensuite, en tant qu'adjoint scientifique, il devient responsable de recherche à l'EPFL. Il est ensuite co-responsable du Laboratoire de Spectroscopie Mécanique à l'Institut de Physique de la Matière Complexe à l'EPFL. En 2002, il devient aussi chef du service des travaux pratiques et auditoires de physique de l'EPFL, qui occupe une dizaine de personnes. En 2005, il est nommé professeur titulaire à l'EPFL. Depuis 1976, il a assumé une cinquantaine de charges de cours dans les domaines de l'acoustique, des vibrations, de la physique métallurgique, de la thermodynamique, de la théorie des dislocations, de la métrologie, des travaux pratiques de physique, ainsi que des cours de base en physique (mécanique, thermodynamique et introduction à la physique quantique) et des démonstrations de physique. Depuis 2012, il est professeur honoraire de l'EPFL.
Ses domaines de recherche ont couvert des sujets variés comme la dynamique des dislocations, les transitions de phase structurales, les propriétés mécaniques et tribologiques à l'échelle nanoscopique et les propriétés mécaniques des milieux granulaires vibrés (spectroscopie mécanique). Dans ces domaines, il a dirigé ou co-dirigé une dizaine de thèses de doctorat. Il est auteur de nombreux modèles théoriques qui sont largement cités. Se spécialisant dans les techniques de spectroscopie acoustique, il a développé aussi plusieurs techniques de mesure originales, comme la technique de couplage acoustique (publications représentatives). Il est l'auteur de plus de 130 articles de recherche, de 13 chapitres de livre, de 6 publications de vulgarisation, de trois livres en tant qu'éditeur et de deux livres en tant qu'auteur .
En plus d'une quarantaine de présentations invitées au niveau international, il est membre du comité scientifique de la conférence internationale ICIFMS, et il a participé à l'organisation de plusieurs conférences et écoles d'été. Membre de plusieurs sociétés scientifiques. il contribue aussi comme « referee » pour de nombreux journaux scientifiques et plusieurs organisations de financement de la recherche. Il a aussi participé durant plusieurs années à deux petites sociétés anonymes en tant qu'administrateur ou président.
En 2011, Gérard Gremaud a reçu le prix Zener et la médaille d'or Zener. Cette distinction récompense des contributions exceptionnelles dans les domaines de la science des matériaux et de la physique.
