Cyril Cayron
Mes recherches: J'ai travaillé comme microscopiste/cristallographe/métallurgiste sur des projets très variés comme les aciers pour le nucléaire, les alliages titane et nickel pour l'aéronautique, les interconnections en cuivre pour la microélectronique, les piles à combustible haute et basse température, le silicium photovoltaïque hétérojonction et monolike, les batteries au lithium à base de LiFePO4 et silicium. Derrière la plupart de ces sujets de recherche appliquée se cachent des problèmes de recherche fondamentale comme celui lié aux transformations de phases. J'ai donc été amené à travailler sur ce sujet passionnant et j'ai pu démontrer que les variants cristallographiques générés par des transitions structurales forment une structure algébrique de groupoïde. Ces travaux ont mené au développement du logiciel de reconstruction des grains parents à partir de données EBSD appelé ARPGE et distribué dans plus de 20 pays. En 2013-2015 j'ai proposé un nouveau modèle cristallographique pour les transformations martensitiques fcc-bcc dans les aciers, comme une alternative à la théorie phénoménologique de la transformation martensitique. Ce modèle a été depuis étendu aux transformations fcc-hcp (type cobalt), bcc-hcp (type titane) et bcc-fcc (type laiton), ainsi qu’à differents modes de maclage mécanique dans les métaux fcc et hcp. Ce modèle à sphères dures montre que la transformation implique une «distorsion angulaire», forme plus générale que le cisaillement. Le modèle prévoit la possibilité que le plan d’interface de certaines macles mécaniques ne soit pas un plan invariant. Un tel cas de maclage « exotique » a été observé expérimentalement par EBSD en 2017 dans un monocristal de magnésium pur. Je travaille maintenant à définir de manière algébrique les concepts de variants (orientation, distortion, correspondance), et sur les types de macles mécaniques (I, II, et d'autres oubliés des théoriques classiques). Mon parcours : 2014-maintenant: Collaborateur scientifique à l'EPFL/LMTM, Neuchâtel, Suisse. J'aide le professeur Roland Logé dans ses travaux de recherche sur les liens entre les fortes déformations, les textures, les tailles de grains et les transformations de phases (diffusives et displacives). Je suis en charge de la salle de métallographie et des caractérisations SEM, EDS, EBSD, TEM, HRTEM. Je codirige trois thèses (Annick Baur, Margaux Larcher, Céline Guidoux). Je suis reviewer pour Acta Mater., Scripta Mater., Acta Cryst., J. Appl. Cryst., Mater. Charact., etc. 2000-2014: Ingénieur de recherche et responsable du groupe Nanocaractérisation, CEA/LITEN, Grenoble, France. 2012 : Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR). 1996-2000: Thèse sur l'étude par microscopie électronique de composites à matrice aluminium. Directeur de thèse Philippe Buffat, CIME, EPFL, Lausanne, Suisse. J'ai pu montrer un lien cristallographique entre différentes phases des alliages 2xxx et 6xxx et proposer pour la première fois une structure complète pour la phase beta prime des nanoprécipités. 1995-1996: Scientifique du contingent, travail sur les écrans électrochromes, COGIDEV, Rueil-Malmaison, France, fondé par M. André Giraud, ancien ministre de la défense et ancien ministre de l’industrie. 1992-1995: Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Nancy, France

Michael Graetzel
Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Michael Graetzel, PhD, directs there the Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces. He pioneered research on energy and electron transfer reactions in mesoscopic systems and their use to generate electricity and fuels from sunlight. He invented mesoscopic injection solar cells, one key embodiment of which is the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC). DSCs are meanwhile commercially produced at the multi-MW-scale and created a number of new applications in particular as lightweight power supplies for portable electronic devices and in building integrated photovoltaics. They engendered perovskite solar cells (PSCs) which turned into the most exciting break-through in the history of photovoltaics. He received a number of prestigious awards, of which the most recent ones include the RusNANO Prize, the Zewail Prize in Molecular Science, the Global Energy Prize, the Millennium Technology Grand Prize, the Marcel Benoist Prize, the King Faisal International Science Prize, the Einstein World Award of Science and the Balzan Prize. He is a Fellow of several learned societies and holds eleven honorary doctor’s degrees from European and Asian Universities. His over 1500 publications have received some 220’000 citations with an h-factor of 218 (SI-Web of Science) demonstrating the strong impact of his scientific work.
Klaus Kern
Klaus Kern is Professor of Physics at EPFL and Director and Scientific Member at the Max-Planck-Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany.

He holds a chemistry degree and PhD from the University of Bonn and a honorary doctors degree from the University of Aalborg. After his doctoral studies he was staff scientist at the Research Center Jülich and visiting scientist at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill before joining the Faculty of EPFL in 1991 and the Max-Planck-Society in 1998. Professor Kern has authored and coauthored close to 700 scientific publications, which have received nearly 60‘000 citations. He has served frequently on advisory committees to universities, professional societies and institutions and has received numerous scientific awards and honors, including the 2008 Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz Prize and the 2016 Van‘t Hoff Prize. Prof. Kern has also educated a large number of leading scientists in nanoscale physics and chemistry. During the past twenty-five years he has supervised one hundred PhD students and sixty postdoctoral fellows. Today, more than fifty of his former students and postdocs hold prominent faculty positions at Universities around the world.

Roland Logé is an associate professor at EPFL, with a primary affiliation to the Materials Institute, and a secondary affiliation to the Microengineering Institute.
After graduating in 1994 at UCL (Belgium) in Materials Engineering, he earned a Master of Science in Mechanics in 1995, at UCSB Santa Barbara (USA). He received his PhD at Mines Paristech-CEMEF (France) in 1999, where he specialized in metal forming and associated microstructure evolutions. After a postdoc at Cornell University (USA) between 1999 and 2001, he entered CNRS in France.
In 2008, he was awarded the ALCAN prize from the French Academy of Sciences, together with Yvan Chastel.
In 2009 he became head of the Metallurgy-Structure-Rheology research group at CEMEF.
In 2011, he launched a “Groupement de Recherche” (GDR), funded by CNRS, networking most of the researchers in France involved in recrystallization and grain growth.
In 2013, he became Research Director at CNRS.
In March 2014 he joined EPFL as the head of the Laboratory of Thermomechanical Metallurgy.
