Emad Oveisi
Dr Emad Oveisi is a senior scientist at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Electron Microscopy (CIME), EPFL.
Emad received a BSc in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering (2005) and an MSc in Materials Science (2008) both from the University of Tehran (Iran). He graduated with a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at EPFL in 2014 for a thesis on the "Three-Dimensional STEM Imaging of Dislocations" under the direction of Prof. Cécile Hébert. The PhD thesis at the Electron Spectrometry and Microscopy Laboratory (LSME), served as an introduction to many of the advanced microscopy techniques that have proven to be a platform for his research career. A post-doctoral research at the centre for electron microscopy gave him the opportunity to peruse a cutting-edge research on one of the most modern aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopes.Since the inauguration of the Energypolis campus of EPFL in Sion, he has been the manager and reference scientist of the electron microscopy platform of EPFL-Valais, working with 9 research groups and more than 200 researchers. In addition to this core responsibility, he provides advanced microscopy consulting and service to EPFL scientists and assist their research to the highest level possible.
Emad Oveisi’s research focuses on the application and development of novel electron microscopy techniques, with emphasis on 3D imaging of crystal defects, as well as the precision measurement of materials properties using aberration-corrected S/TEM. In 2018, he received the prestigious Microscopy Innovation Award for inventing “Single-shot three-dimensional electron imaging”, a novel technique that enables 3D imaging of in situ dynamics.
In 2016 Emad was elected as an interim representative for the scientific staff ("corps intermédiaire") to the Council of the Institute of Chemistry (ISIC). Since 2019, he is a member of EPFL Teachers’ Council (CCE) and has been elected as one of its four bureau members. This role allows him to be exposed to new ideas and pedagogical challenges, as well being involved in discussions with the Vice Presidency of Education (VPE) and other teaching organisations for defining teaching strategies at the EPFL.
Xia Liu
Brief Bio: Xia Liu received her Ph.D. in Institute of Microelectronics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2017. From September 2012 to October 2013, she was a visiting student in University of California at Berkeley. From August 2017 to October 2018, Dr. Liu was entitled as a Wen H. Ko Fellow at Case Western Reverse University (USA). Currently, she is a researcher scientist in Microsystems laboratory, EPFL. She has demonstrated outstanding effort to research and explorations in micro/nanoscale devices and integrated systems, both at the frontiers of fundamental device physics and toward cutting-edge micro/nanotechnologies for emerging applications. She has authored or co-authored more than 10 peer-reviewed journal papers during last two years. With her PhD dissertation titled “Cardiomyocyte-Driven Energy Harvester and Ultrahigh Piezoelectric Nanofibers”, she received the “Tsinghua University Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award, First Prize” in 2017. She also received the title of Excellent Ph.D. Graduate of Beijing in 2017. Her current research interest is focused on micro energy harvesting, advanced fabrication of 2D materials, devices and applications.
