Michel Rappaz
Après un doctorat en physique du solide (1978) de l’Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), un post-doc à Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Michel Rappaz rejoint l’Institut des matériaux de l’EPFL en 1981. Après un passage de deux ans dans un bureau d’ingénieurs, il revient à l’EPFL en 1984 où il est nommé Professeur titulaire en 1990, puis Professeur ordinaire en 2003. Après sa retraite de l’EPFL en 2015, il est actuellement Professeur émérite et consultant indépendant auprès de divers centres de recherche et industries.
Ses principaux centres d’intérêt sont les transformations de phase et la solidification, en particulier le couplage des aspects macroscopiques de transferts de chaleur et de masse à l’échelle des procédés avec les aspects microscopiques de germination-croissance des microstructures et des défauts. Parmi ses diverses réalisations, on peut mentionner le développement d’Automates Cellulaires couplés avec la méthode d’Eléments Finis (modèle CAFE) pour la prédiction des structures de grains en solidification, le développement de modèles granulaires pour la fissuration à chaud, l’application de la méthode de champ de phase pour la compréhension de diverses microstructures, la découverte de la germination assistée dans certains alliages par des phases quasicrystallines, ainsi que de nombreuses études touchant aussi bien les aspects fondamentaux de formation des structures que des aspects plus appliqués des procédés.
Certains modèles développés dans son laboratoire ont été commercialisés par une spin-off fondée en 1991 (Calcom SA), faisant partie actuellement du groupe français ESI. Michel Rappaz a initié en 1992 un cours annuel de formation continue en solidification, suivi à ce jour par plus de 900 participants venant d’une quarantaine de pays. Il collabore actuellement avec une autre spin-off du laboratoire fondée en 2014, Novamet SàrL.
Michel Rappaz a reçu de nombreux prix et distinctions, en particulier le prix Mathewson de co-auteur (1994) et auteur (1997) de l’American Mineral, Metals and Materials Society (TMS), le prix de la fondation Koerber avec les Profs Y. Bréchet et M. Asbby (1996), la médaille Sainte-Claire Deville (1996) et la Grande Médaille (2011) de la Société Française des Matériaux (SF2M), le prix Bruce Chalmers de la TMS (2002), le prix Mc Donald Memorial Lecture du Canada (2005), la médaille d’or de la Société Européenne des Matériaux (FEMS, 2013) et le prix Brimacombe de la TMS (2015). Il fait partie des “Highly-Cited Authors” de ISI, il est fellow des sociétés ASM, IOP et TMS, et a écrit plus de 200 publications et deux livres.

Yves Bellouard
Dr. Yves Bellouard is Associate Professor in Microengineering at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, where he heads the Galatea lab and the Richemont Chair in micromanufacturing. He received a BS in Theoretical Physics and a MS in Applied Physics from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, France in 1994-1995 and a PhD in Microengineering from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2000. For his PhD work, he received the Omega Scientific prize (2001) for outstanding contribution in the field of microengineering for his work on Shape Memory Alloys. Before joining EPFL in 2015, he was Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technologies (TU/e) in the Netherlands and prior to that, Research Scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York for about four years where he started working on femtosecond laser processing of glass materials. From 2010 until 2013, Yves Bellouard initiated and coordinated the Femtoprint project, a European research initiative aiming at investigating a table-top printer for microsystems ('3D printing of microsystems'). In 2013, he received a prestigious ERC Starting Grant (Consolidator-2012) from the European Research Council and a JSPS Fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. His current research interests are on new paradigms for system integration at the microscale and in particular laser-based methods to tailor material properties for achieving higher level of integration in microsystems, like for instance integrating optics, mechanics and fluidics in a single monolith. These approaches open new opportunities for direct-write methods of microsystems (3D printing). Personal website
