Etudes à l'Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Zurich (ETHZ) en Suisse. Après son diplôme de cristallographe obtenu en 1966, il prépare sa thèse dans la même institution sous la direction du Prof. A. Niggli qui a été défendue en 1972. Il a poursuivi durant trois ans ses travaux de recherche au Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory en Californie dans le laboratoire du Prof. D. H. Templeton, spécialiste bien connu dans la champ de la diffraction résonante. De retour en Suisse, il rejoint l'Institut de cristallographie nouvellement créé à l'Université de Lausanne sous la direction du Prof. D. Schwarzenbach. En 1991, il est nommé professeur ordinaire puis en 1999, directeur de l'Institut de cristallographie. En 2003, son unité est transférée à l'Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale à Lausanne où il est nommé professeur ordinaire.
G. Chapuis a présidé de nombreux comités et sociétés internationaux dans le domaine de la cristallographie. En particulier, il a présidé le comité des structures apériodiques de l'Union Internationale de cristallographie (IUCr). Il est également membre de la commission de l'enseignement de cette même organisation. Il a également présidé la société suisse de cristallographie.
G. Chapuis est co-éditeur du Journal Acta Crystallographica et participe dans de nombreux comités de lectures pour différentes revues scientifiques consacrées à la cristallographie et à la physique du solide.
Ses domaines de recherche couvrent plus spécifiquement l'étude théorique et expérimentale des structures apériodiques et en particulier les structures incommensurables par diffraction et dynamique moléculaire. Il est l'auteur de plus de trois cents articles scientifiques publiés dans des revues internationales avec arbitrage. De plus G. Chapuis se consacre au développement interactif de l'enseignement de la cristallographie avec les nouvelles technologies de communication accessibles sur Internet.
Christos Comninellis
Christos Comninellis, of Greek origin, born in 1945, received his Bachelor of Science in chemistry (distinction with honor) in 1970 from the University of Alexandria.
From 1971 to 1975, he worked as a chemist at the Institute of chemical engineering at the EPFL, where he achieved his PhD in technical sciences in 1979 for his research on the electrochemical fluorination of organic compounds in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.
Appointed professor in 1996, he teaches at the Faculty of Basic Sciences (FSB) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL)
Applied Chemistry.
Transport Phenomena.
Chemical and Electrochemical Technologies Related to the Environment.
Electrochemical Engineering.
He also holds a teaching position at the Haute Ecole Valaisanne Sion (HEVs).
His research work is focused on environmental electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, fuel cell and electrochemical promotion in catalysis. An applied research for the utilization of electrochemical techniques in industry for the protection of the environment is a constant concern within his activities. As a result, the collaboration with the industry enabled the development of oxidation processes with regeneration of the oxidant using a new type of bipolar electrochemical reactor.
Christos Comninellis has published over 170 scientific papers, directed 17 doctoral theses and holds 14 patents. He has participated in over 130 international symposia, giving five plenary lectures during the last five years. He has been president of the Evaluation Committee of the FSB since the beginning of 2004 and is member of the jury of the EPFL prize for outstanding PhD-thesis.
