Wulfram GerstnerWulfram Gerstner is Director of the Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience LCN at the EPFL. His research in computational neuroscience concentrates on models of spiking neurons and spike-timing dependent plasticity, on the problem of neuronal coding in single neurons and populations, as well as on the link between biologically plausible learning rules and behavioral manifestations of learning. He teaches courses for Physicists, Computer Scientists, Mathematicians, and Life Scientists at the EPFL. After studies of Physics in Tübingen and at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (Master 1989), Wulfram Gerstner spent a year as a visiting researcher in Berkeley. He received his PhD in theoretical physics from the Technical University Munich in 1993 with a thesis on associative memory and dynamics in networks of spiking neurons. After short postdoctoral stays at Brandeis University and the Technical University of Munich, he joined the EPFL in 1996 as assistant professor. Promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in February 2001, he is since August 2006 a full professor with double appointment in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences and the School of Life Sciences. Wulfram Gerstner has been invited speaker at numerous international conferences and workshops. He has served on the editorial board of the Journal of Neuroscience, Network: Computation in Neural Systems', Journal of Computational Neuroscience', and `Science'.
Luc ThévenazDe nationalité suisse et né à Genève, Luc Thévenaz a obtenu en 1982 le diplôme de physicien, mention astrophysique, de l'Université de Genève et le doctorat ès sciences naturelles, mention physique, en 1988 de l'Université de Genève. C'est durant ces années de thèse qu'il a développé son domaine d'excellence, en l'occurrence les fibres optiques et leurs applications. En 1988, Luc Thévenaz a rejoint l'Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), où il dirige actuellement un groupe de recherche en photonique, notamment en optique dans les fibres et dans les capteurs. Ses domaines de recherche couvrent les capteurs à fibre optique basés sur la diffusion Brillouin, l'optique non-linéaire dans les fibres, la lumière lente et rapide et la spectroscopie laser dans les gaz. Ses réalisations principales sont: - l'invention d'une configuration innovante pour les capteurs répartis Brillouin, basée sur l'emploi d'une seule source laser, ce qui lui donne une grande stabilité intrinsèque et qui a permis de réaliser les premières mesures hors laboratoire avec ce type de capteur; - le développement d'un capteur de gaz à l'état de traces, basé sur une détection photoacoustique et utilisant une source laser à semi-conducteur dans le proche infra-rouge, pouvant détecter une concentration du gaz au niveau du ppb; - la première démonstration expérimentale de lumière lente et rapide dans les fibres optiques qui puissent être contrôlées par un autre faisceau lumineux, réalisées à température ambiante et fonctionnant à n'importe quelle longueur d'onde grâce à l'exploitation de la diffusion Brillouin. La première vitesse de groupe négative dans les fibres a aussi été démontrée selon le même principe. En 1991, il a visité l'Université PUC de Rio de Janeiro au Brésil, où il a travaillé sur la génération d'impulsions picoseconde avec des diodes laser. En 1991-1992 il a travaillé à l'Université de Stanford aux USA, où il a participé au développement d'un gyroscope basé sur un laser Brillouin à fibre. Il a rejoint en 1998 l'entreprise Orbisphere Laboratories SA à Neuchâtel en Suisse en tant qu'expert scientifique, avec pour tâche de développer des capteurs de gaz à l'état de traces, basés sur la spectroscopie laser photoacoustique. En 1998 and 1999 il a visité le Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) à Daejon en Corée du Sud, où il a travaillé sur des capteurs de courant électrique utilisant un laser à fibre optique. En 2000 il a été un des co-fondateurs de l'entreprise Omnisens SA à Morges en Suisse, qui développe et commercialise de l'instrumentation et des capteurs optiques de pointe. En 2007 il a visité l'Université de Tel Aviv, où il a étudié le contrôle tout-optique de la polarisation de la lumière dans les fibres optiques. Durant l'hiver 2010, il a séjourné à l'Université de Sydney en Australie (CUDOS: Centre for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems) où il a étudié les apllications de la diffusion Brillouin stimulée dans les guides d'onde à base de verres chalcogénures. En 2014, il a séjourné à L'Université Polytechnique de Valence en Espagne, où il a travaillé sur les applications photoniques pour les micro-ondes exploitant la diffusion Brillouin stimulée. Il a été membre du Consortium formé pour le projet européen FP7 GOSPEL "Gouverner la vitesse de la lumière", a été Président de l'Action Européenne COST 299 "FIDES: Les fibres optiques pour relever les nouveaux défis de la société de l'information" et est auteur ou co-auteur de quelques 480 publications et 12 brevets. Il est actuellement Coordinateur du projet H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks FINESSE (FIbre NErve Systems for Sensing). Il est co-Editeur-en-Chef de la revue "Nature Light: Science & Applications" et Membre du Comité Editorial (Editeur Associé) de la revues suivantes: "APL Photonics" et "Laser & Photonics Reviews". Il a été élevé au rang de "Fellow" par l'IEEE, ainsi que par la Société Optique (OSA).

Luca Giovanni PattaroniSuite à une formation en Relations Internationales (Institut des Hautes Etudes Internationales, Genève) et un DEA en sciences sociales (Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris/Ulm), Luca Pattaroni a soutenu une thèse de sociologie en cotutelle (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris/ Université de Genève) sous la direction de Laurent Thévenot (EHESS) et Jean Kellerhals (Université de Genève). Après avoir occupé durant 5 ans un poste d'assistant à la Faculté de Droit (Université de Genève), il a été visiting scholar à lUniversité de Columbia (New York). Il travaille désormais au Laboratoire de Sociologie Urbaine (EPFL) et est associé au Groupe de Sociologie Politique et Morale de l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (GSPM/EHESS). En 2011, il a été Professeur invité à l'Université Fédérale de Fluminense (Brésil). Ses recherches et publications portent sur les politiques urbaines et culturelles, l’habitat, les mouvements sociaux, les rythmes urbains et les grandes manifestation, l’évolution des modes de vie ainsi que, plus largement les enjeux du commun dans les villes contemporaines. Spécialiste des méthodes mixtes ainsi que de théorie sociologique et politique, il cherche à articuler une analyse fine du pluralisme des modes de vie et un questionnement sur les enjeux politiques et moraux de la composition dun monde commun.
