🏃♂️ 👨🎓 𝑨𝒄𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉-𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒔, 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆? 🏃♂️ 👨🎓 Timothe Mumenthaler, European 200-meter champion 🥇, proves that you can excel in both. A talented sprinter and microengineering student at EPFL, he skillfully alternates between international competitions and a demanding academic journey. 💬 “I’m basically living a double life with two very different sets of challenges, so it makes sense that it’ll take twice as long to get my degree" he says, as he prepares to start his second year of his Bachelor's degree part-time. 👉 Find out more about his inspiring path: https://lnkd.in/ea5RVjkf

Darong Huang, Luis M. Costero and David Atienza are cooling down hot spots, with 3D-ICE! This new publication explores the topic of dynamic thermal management for 3D configurations of microchips, using the 3D-ICE emulator developed at our lab. Published this month in IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems: https://lnkd.in/emvs-vJR

Yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming Prof. Jerald Yoo (유담) from Seoul National University, to our first "IEM Distinguished Seminar" of the semester, joint with IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS). His talk "On-Chip Epilepsy Detection: Where Machine Learning Meets Patient-Specific Wearable Healthcare" was both insightful and inspiring. Thank you to Prof. Mahsa Shoaran from the Integrated Neurotechnologies Laboratory (INL) for inviting him, and to Prof. Yoo for sharing his time and knowledge with us.

🌞 𝑰𝒔 𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒅? ⚡ The elevated temperatures this summer prompted many of us to crank up the air conditioning. In Switzerland, the energy used for cooling is approaching that for heating. What does that mean for power grids? 👉 We spoke with Prof. Mario Paolone, head of the Distributed Electrical Systems Laboratory to find out. https://lnkd.in/eZ9Ben4N
Is air conditioning a threat to the power grid?

🎉 Congratulations to Marine Cauz from the EPFL PV-lab on the successful defense of her PhD thesis “Co-optimising Design and Operation of Energy Systems using Reinforcement Learning” under the supervision of Prof. Christophe Ballif and Dr N. Würsch. 🔎 This work leverages AI to co-optimise the design and control of renewable energy systems. Using RL’s model-free approach, it enhances system efficiency and the integration of renewable energy without relying on predefined mathematical models. 🤝 This thesis in industry was carried out in collaboration with Planair SA. #epfl_edey

🎉 Congratulations to Juan Pablo Zuluaga from the LIDIAP on the successful defense of his PhD thesis “Low-Resource Speech Recognition and Understanding for Challenging Applications” under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Philippe Thiran and Dr. Petr Motlicek. 🔎 In this thesis, we propose multiple solutions for well-known challenges in the domain of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language processing (NLP). Furthermore, we bridge the gap between research and application targeted to air traffic control communications. We developed multiple solutions in these both areas of ASR and NLP.

🎉 Congratulations to Felix Risch from the Nanolab on the successful defense of his PhD thesis “Conductive ferroelectric domain walls in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 for neuromorphic applications” under the supervision of Dr I. Stolichnov. 🔎 In this work, novel materials and functionalities are explored to be used in future neuromorphic computing systems. Particulary, domain walls in ferroelectric materials are investigated which can act as reconfigurable 2D conductive sheets in an otherwise insulating matrix. The spartial mobile conductive channels are used to fabricate novel memristive nanoelectronic devices with potential for neuromorphic circuit elements. #epfl_edmi
