Simon Nessim Henein
Simon Henein obtient son diplôme d’ingénieur en microtechnique de l’Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) en 1996, puis le titre de docteur ès sciences techniques de cette même institution en 2000. En 2001 il publie un livre intitulé « Conception des guidages flexibles » qui devient une référence dans le monde de la conception micromécanique. Ce livre sera traduit en anglais et complété dans un ouvrage collectif intitulé "The art of flexure mechanism design" publié en 2017.Simon Henein s’engage ensuite professionnellement au Centre Suisse d’Electronique et Microtechnique (CSEM) où il conçoit et développe des mécanismes dédiés à des applications robotiques, spatiales, astrophysique, biomédicales et horlogères, ainsi qu’à l’Institut Paul Scherrer où il développe des instruments pour le synchrotron suisse SLS. Depuis le 1er novembre 2012, il est professeur associé en microtechnique à l’EPFL et directeur du Laboratoire de conception micromécanique et horlogère (Instant-Lab). De 2020 à 2021 il effectue un congé de recherche en tant que professeur invité au Centre d'études théâtrales de l'Université de Lausanne (faculté des lettres).
Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi
Amin Shokrollahi has worked on a variety of topics, including coding theory, computational number theory and algebra, and computational/algebraic complexity theory. He is best known for his work on iterative decoding algorithms of graph based codes, an area in which he holds a number of granted and pending patents. He is the co-inventor of Tornado codes, and the inventor of Raptor codes. His codes have been standardized and successfully deployed in practical areas dealing with data transmission over lossy networks.
Prior to joining EPFL, Amin Shokrollahi has held positions as the chief scientist of Digital Fountain, member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories, senior researcher at the International Computer Science Insitute in Berkeley, and assistant professor at the department of computer science of the university of Bonn. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, and he was awarded the Best Paper Award of the IEEE IT Society in 2002 for his work on iterative decoding of LDPC code, the IEEE Eric Sumner Award in 2007 for the development of Fountain Codes, and the joint Communication Society/Information Theory Society best paper award of 2007 for his paper on Raptor Codes.

Karen Scrivener
De nationalité anglaise, Karen Scrivener est née en 1958. Au cours de sa carrière, ses travaux et sa recherche traitaient des domaines suivants: Identification du développement microstucturale pendant l'hydratation du ciment. Elaboration d'une approche multitechnique pour étudier la microstucture des ciments et bétons, avec accent sur la quantification par analyse des images d'électrons retrodiffusés. Caractérisation de l'auréole de transition de la pâte de ciment autour des granulats. Compréhension des processus de dégardation des bétons, en particulier le gonflement lié à la formation de l'éttringite retardée dans les bétons étuvés.
