Anders Meibom
Anders Meibom obtained his PhD in physics from the University of Southern Denmark in 1997. This was followed by two and a half years of PostDoc work at the Hawaii Institute for Geophysics and Planetology, where he conducted mineralogical studies of primitive chondritic meteorites.  From 2000 to 2005, he was Research Associate in the Geological & Environmental Sciences, Stanford University, where he represented Stanford in the USGS-Stanford ion microprobe laboratory.   In 2005, he became proifessor at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. From 2006 to 2011 he was the director of the French national NanoSIMS laboratory.   Since January 2012, he is professor at the EPFL in the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC).  From April 2014, he is professor ad personam at the Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Lausanne.

Philippe Gillet
Philippe GILLET est entré à l’Ecole normale supérieure de la rue d’Ulm (Paris) pour y mener des études en sciences de la Terre. En 1983, il obtient un PhD en géophysique à l’université de Paris VII et rejoint l’université de Rennes I comme assistant. En 1988, titulaire d’un doctorat d’Etat, il devient professeur dans cette même université et la quitte en 1992 pour rejoindre Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon. La formation des chaînes de montagnes, et des Alpes en particuliers, est l’objet de la première partie de sa carrière scientifique. En parallèle, il développe des techniques expérimentales (cellules à enclumes de diamants)qui permettent de simuler en laboratoire les conditions de pression et de température qui règnent au sein des planètes. L’objectif de ces expériences est de comprendre de quels matériaux sont constituées les profondeurs inatteignables des planètes du système solaire. En 1997, il commence à travailler sur la matière extraterrestre. Il participe à la description de météorites venant de Mars, de la Lune ou de planètes aujourd’hui disparues et explique comment celles-ci ont été expulsées de leur planète d’origine par des chocs titanesques avant d’arriver sur Terre. Il a aussi participé au programme STARDUST de la NASA et contribué à l’identification de grains de comète ramenés sur Terre après avoir été capturés au voisinage de la comète Wild-II. Ces grains représentent les premiers minéraux de notre système solaire, formés il y a plus de 4,5 milliards d’années. Il a aussi travaillé sur les sujets suivants : • interactions entre bacteries et minéraux; • amorphisation sous pression; • techniques expérimentales: cellule à enclumes de diamant, spectroscopie Raman,diffraction des RX sur source synchrotron, microscopie électronique. Philippe Gillet a aussi une activité de management de la science et de l’enseignement. Il a ainsi dirigé l’Institut National des Sciences de l’Univers du CNRS (France), présidé le synchrotron français SOLEIL, l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche française(2007) et l’Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon. Avant de rejoindre l’EPFL il a été le directeur de cabinet du Ministre français de la Recherche et de l’Enseignement Supérieur. Quelques publications : Ferroir, T., L. Dubrovinsky, A. El Goresy, A.

Ambrogio Fasoli
Ambrogio FASOLI was born on November 10, 1964, in Milano, Italy.  After a classical high school diploma (Maturità Classica) and graduation from the University of Milano, with the degree of Dottore in Fisica, he obtained his Phd at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale (EPFL) with a thesis on chaos in wave-particle interactions in plasmas, which was awarded the Best EPFL Thesis prize, in 1993.  He then moved to the JET Joint Undertaking, the largest worlds fusion device, near Oxford, UK, to investigate Alfvén waves and burning plasma physics.  In 1995-1996 he took a sabbatical leave, visiting several Universities and Research Institutes in Europe and in the USA, including three months at General Atomics in San Diego.  In 1996-1997, during a second period at JET, he participated in the fusion power worlds record experiments in Deuterium-Tritium plasmas at JET. In 1997 he was nominated Assistant Professor in MIT Physics Department, where he led a basic plasma physics group and the international collaboration between MIT and JET.  In 2001 Ambrogio FASOLI was nominated Assistant Professor of Physics at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, and Professeur Boursier of the Swiss National Science Foundation. He became member of CRPP Directorate and took the leadership of CRPP basic plasma physics group and of the TCV tokamak, one of the major fusion experiments worldwide. At European level he was scientific coordinator for JET experiments, spokesperson for multi-machine experiments in the frame of International Tokamak Physics Activities, and Project Leader for a JET Enhancement project. In 2005 he became Associate Professor of Physics with tenure at EPFL, then member of EFDA Science and Technology Advisory Committee, and of the Steering Committee of the Association EURATOM-Swiss Confederation.  From 2006 he was also Deputy Director, then from 2007 Executive Director of CRPP and from 2008 Full Professor of Physics at EPFL. For a number of years he was the Chair of the EPFL Physics Strategic Committee and a member of the Directorate of the EPFL School of Sciences. Since the summer of 2014 Professor FASOLI was the sole Director of CRPP. He now represents Switzerland in the EUROfusion General Assembly and Bureau, and in the Governing Board for Fusion for Energy. He is member of the EUROfusion DEMO project Board, of the Scientific Board of the Helmotz Virtual Institute on Advanced Microwave Diagnostics, of the European Delegation for the Cooperation between Euratom and the Government of India in Fusion Energy Research, of the European Consortium for the development of the ITER gyratron (EGYC), and participates to numerous international review panels.  He chairs the FuseNet Academic Council, the International Advisory Panel for the Laboratory of Excellence Plas@Par in the Sorbonne Universities, the European Consortium for the construction of the ITER microwave Upper Launcher (ECHUL), and the Promotion Committee of the EPFL Faculty of Basic Sciences. He is one the three European representatives in the International Tokamak Physics Activities Coordinating Committee, advising ITER, and the Editor-in-Chief of the IAEA journal Nuclear Fusion. Since January 2019, Ambrogio Fasoli is the Chair of the General Assembly, i.e. the president of EUROfusion, the European Consortium for Development of Fusion Energy.  Professor FASOLI is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and since 2001 a Visiting Professor at MIT Physics Department.  He is the Director of the Swiss Plasma Center.
