Marco GrioniMarco Grioni est né à Milan (Italie). Après une thèse au Politecnico di Milano en 1982, il occupe des positions de recherche à Minneapolis (USA), Nijmegen (Pays Bas), Orsay (France) et Neuchâtel, où il devient Privat Docent en Physique du Solide en 1994. A l'EPFL depuis 1996, il est nommé professeur titulaire en 2005. Il enseigne la physique générale et dirige actuellement le Laboratoire de Spectroscopie Electronique de l'Institut de Physique.
Ses recherches portent sur les propriétés électroniques de nouveaux matériaux tels que les supraconducteurs à haute température, les métaux à basse dimension et les fermions lourds, qu'il étudie par la spectroscopie des photoélectrons (ARPES) à très haute résolution, par ultrafast time-resolved ARPES, et par d'autres techniques utilisant le rayonnement synchrotron. Auteur d'env. 220 publications, il participe activement au niveau suisse et européen au développement de nouveaux instruments. Entre 2003 et 2006 il a été chairman de l'organisation des utilisateurs du synchrotron européen de Grenoble (ESRF). De 2010 à 2017 il a été chairman du Scientific Advisory Committee du synchrotron national français SOLEIL.
Vincenzo SavonaDe nationalité italienne, Vincenzo Savona est né en 1969. Il effectue ses études de physique à lEcole normale supérieure de Pise et à lUniversité de Pise. Puis il entreprend une thèse de doctorat à lInstitut de physique théorique de lEPFL. Il effectue des recherches post-doctorales à lEPFL, puis à lInstitut de physique de lUniversité Humboldt de Berlin. En 2002, il revient à lEPFL pour y constituer son groupe de recherche, bénéficiant dun subside «professeur boursier» du Fonds national suisse de la recherche scientifique. En 2006, il est nommé professeur assistant tenure-track à lEPFL et intègre le NCCR de photonique quantique. En 2010 il est nommé professeur associé. Actuellement, il dirige le Laboratoire de physique théorique des nanosystèmes.

Jean-Philippe AnsermetJean-Philippe Ansermet was born March 1, 1957 in Lausanne (legal origin Vaumarcus, NE). He obtained a diploma as physics engineer of EPFL in 1980. He went on to get a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where, from 1985 to 1987, he persued as post-doc with Prof. Slichter his research on catalysis by solid state NMR studies of molecules bound to the surface of catalysts. From 1987 to 1992 he worked at the materials research center of Ciba-Geigy, on polymers for microelectronics, composites, dielectrics and organic charge transfer complexes. In March 1992, as professor of experimental physics, he developed a laboratory on the theme of nanostructured materials and turned full professor in 1995. Since 1992, he teaches classical mechanics, first to future engineering students, since 2004 to physics majors. Since 2000, he teaches thermodynamics also, to the same group of students. He offers a graduate course in spintronics, and another on spin dynamics. His research activities concern the fabrication and properties of magnetic nanostructures produced by electrodeposition. His involvement since the early days of spintronics have allowed him to gain recognition for his work on giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR), magnetic relaxation of single nanostructures, and was among the leading groups demonstrating magnetization reversal by spin-polarized currents. Furthermore, his group uses nuclear magnetic resonance , on the one hand as means of investigation of surfaces and electrodes, on the other hand, as a local probe of the electronic properties of complex ferromagnetic oxides.
