Dimitrios Lignos
Prof. Lignos joined the École Polytechnique Féderale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2016 from McGill University in Canada where he was a tenured Associate Professor and a William Dawson Scholar for Infrastructure Resilience. He holds a diploma (National Technical University of Athens, NTUA, 2003), M.S. (Stanford University, 2004) and Ph.D. (Stanford University, 2008). In addition, he was a post-doctoral scientist at Stanford University (2009) and in Kyoto University (2010). Prof. Lignos teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in seismic design, nonlinear behaviour of steel and composite structures as well as supplemental damping systems, Structural Stability, Nonlinear Analysis and Performance-based Earthquake Engineering. His awards for teaching, research and service in Civil Engineering include the 2011 Outstanding Teaching Award (Faculty of Engineering, McGill University), as well as the Outstanding reviewer (2012, 2013) award from ASCE, the 2013 State-of-the-Art in Civil Engineering Award by ASCE and the 2014 Christophe Pierre Award for Research Excellence - Early Career. Just recently, he received the 2019 Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize from ASCE for significant contributions in developing state of the art methods to simulate extreme limit states in steel structures.Prof. Lignos is a member of ASCE and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute. He acts as an Associate Editor for Metal Structures and Seismic Effects of the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering. He joined the Editorial Board of Earthquake Spectra and Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics International journals. He serves as an acting member of the CEN/TC 250/SC 8/WG 2 and has been selected as a member of the Project Team (PT2) for the Eurocode 8-Part 1 Current Revisions for Steel and Composite Structures. He is also a member of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) S16 technical committee for Steel Structures. Prof. Lignos is involved as a NEHRP consultant in numerous research-to-practice projects related to the behaviour and nonlinear modelling and analysis of structures applicable to the engineering practice through the Applied Technology Council (ATC).

Giorgio Margaritondo
De nationalité américaine et suisse, Giorgio Margaritondo est né à Rome (Italie) en 1946. Il a reçu la Laurea cum laude en physique de l'Université de Rome en 1969. De 1969 à 1978, il a travaillé pour le Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), à Rome, à Frascati et, pendant la période 1975-1977, chez Bell Laboratories aux Etats-Unis. De 1978 à 1990, il est professeur de physique à l'Université du Wisconsin, à Madison (Etats-Unis); en 1984, il est nommé vice-directeur au Centre de rayonnement synchrotron de la même université. En 1990, il est engagé à l'EPFL comme professeur ordinaire et dirige l'Institut de physique appliquée au Département de physique. Il a été également membre honoraire du corps professoral de l'Université Vanderbilt à Nashville. En 2001 il a été nommé doyen de la Faculté des sciences de base de l'EPFL; en 2004, il a été nommé Vice-président pour les affaires académiques.; en 2010 et jusqu'à sa retraite de l'EPFL en 2016 il est devenu Doyen de la formation continue. A côté de ses cours de physique générale, son activité de recherche porte sur la physique des semiconducteurs et des supraconducteurs (états électroniques, surfaces, interfaces) et des systèmes biologiques; ses principales méthodes expérimentales sont la spectroscopie et la spectromicroscopie électroniques, l'imagerie aux rayons x et la microscopie SNOM, y compris les expériences avec le rayonnement synchrotron et le laser à électrons libres. Auteur d'environ 700 articles scientifiques et de 9 livres, il a aussi été responsable de 1995 à 1998 des programmes scientifiques du Synchrotron ELETTRA à Trieste. Depuis 1997, il a été le coordinateur de la table ronde de la Commission européenne pour le rayonnement synchrotron, et président du conseil de la "Integrated Initiative" de la Commission européenne pour les synchrotrons et les lasers à électrons libres (IA-SFS, ensuite ELISA), le plus grand réseau au monde de laboratoires dans ce domaine. En 2011-2015, il a été Editor-in-Chief du Journal of Physics D (Applied Physics). A présent, il est vice-président du conseil de l'Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI) et président du Scientific and Technological Committee de l'Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT). Il est "Fellow" de l'American Physical Society et de l'American Vacuum Society; il est également "Fellow and Chartered Physicist" de l'Institute of Physics.
