Nomination of two new Tenure Track Assistant Professors at SB
17.12.18 – At its meeting of 12-13 December 2018, the ETH Board has named Dr. Pablo Rivera-Fuentes and Dr. Lesya Shchutska as Tenure-Track Assistant Professors at the School of Basic Sciences (SB)
Pablo Rivera-Fuentes has been named Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Chemical Biology from the 1st of August 2019
Pablo Rivera-Fuentes has a broad-ranging knowledge of molecular imaging, organic synthesis and biological chemistry. His current focus is on visualising intracellular connections in order to acquire a better understanding of the interplay between the processes occurring in cells. In recent years he has attracted considerable international attention, such as for the first small molecular probe capable of imaging esterase activity in living cells with nanometric resolution. The appointment of Pablo Rivera-Fuentes strengthens EPFL’s position in the forward-looking area of chemical biology.

Lesya Shchutska has been named Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of High-Energy Physics from the 1st of April 2019
Lesya Shchutska is an internationally acclaimed and highly innovative young scientist. In 2017 she was awarded an ERC Starting Grant. Her research focuses on the search for physical phenomena beyond the standard model of particle physics. To this end, she is participating in the collaborative CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. Lesya Shchutska is one of the world’s leading experts in the search for supersymmetric particles. Her work at EPFL will include helping to develop and construct the particle detectors of the future.
