Two new PATTs and one adjunct professor appointed at SB
30.09.19 – At its meeting of 25-26 September 2019, the ETH Board has appointed Mitali Banerjee and Adam Marcus as Tenure Track Assistant Professors and Jacques Duparc as Adjunct Professor
Dr Mitali Banerjee was named as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Physics from the 1st of January 2020
Mitali Banerjee is a scientist with exceptional potential. She attracted particular international attention for designing and setting up an experimental installation for measuring thermal conductivity in two-dimensional materials. In doing so, she rose to an exceptionally difficult challenge which many experts had regarded as impossible. With her appointment, EPFL is recruiting a scientist who will make key contributions to both research and teaching.
Professor Adam Marcus was named as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Mathematics from the 1st of January 2020
Adam Marcus is regarded as one of the most talented mathematicians of his generation. He attracted worldwide attention in 2013, when he and other scientists solved the Kadison-Singer problem – a problem posed in 1959 in the theory of operator algebras and functional analysis. At EPFL; Adam Marcus will build up a strong research group in combinatorial analysis, continuing the Federal Institute’s long tradition in this field. He will also help strengthen the link between mathematics and theoretical computer science.
Professor Jacques Duparc was named as Adjunct Professor at EPFL
Jacques Duparc has gained worldwide recognition as an expert in descriptive set theory, game theory and their applications in theoretical computer science. He has been a successful teacher at EPFL for more than ten years.
