Dr. Giovanni Boero, Microsystems Laboratory (LMIS1)

Abstract
Methods based on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR), and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) phenomena are powerful, non-invasive, and widely employed tools which allowed major advances in physics, material science, chemistry, biology, and medicine. The importance of magnetic resonance methods is recognized in disciplines such as the determination of the structure of complex molecules, metabolomics, catalysis, in-vivo tumors detection, functional studies of the brain, process control/optimization, and quantum computing.
The use of magnetic resonance methodologies in an even wider range of applications is often hindered by the relatively large concentrations and minimum number of resonating spins needed to achieve a sufficiently large signal-to-noise ratio in the available experimental time. Experiments at the nanoliter and subnanoliter scale requires detectors and methods which are significantly different from those commercially available and used to perform experiments on microliter and larger volumes. At the nanoliter and subnanoliter scale, both inductive and non-inductive (e.g., optical and mechanical) detection methods are currently investigated.
In this seminar, after an introduction to the physics and state-of-the-art of nanoliter and subnanoliter magnetic resonance, I will focus on my research activities on the inductive detection of NMR and ESR using single chip integrated sensors and on the X-ray detection of FMR using synchrotron radiation beamlines.

Short biography
Giovanni Boero received his diploma in physics from the University of Genova (Genova, Italy) in 1994. From 1994 to 1996 he worked on clusterized gas beams for particle physics experiments at FERMILAB (USA) and at CERN (Switzerland). Since 1996, he is working at EPFL (Switzerland), where he obtained the PhD degree in 2000 and the title of Senior scientist in 2012. His research interests are in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR), and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy of at the nanoliter and subnanoliter scale, low noise RF and microwave integrated electronics, and magnetic sensors.

Chercheurs du Laboratoire d’histoire des sciences et des techniques de l’EPFL

Randonnée de deux jours en Haute-Savoie (FR) avec des chercheurs du laboratoire d’histoire des sciences et des techniques de l’EPFL

Les frères Jean-André et Guillaume-Antoine Deluc, Marc-Théodore Bourrit, peintre et chantre de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Genève, le professeur de philosophie à l’Académie de Genève Horace Bénédict de Saussure, son collègue physicien Marc-Auguste Pictet… Au XVIIIè siècle, de nombreux savants genevois se sont lancés dans l’ascension du Mont Buet (FR), situé dans les États de Savoie d’alors. Guidées par des cristalliers et des chasseurs de chamois locaux, ces expéditions scientifiques avaient pour objectif de documenter la physique de l’atmosphère et l’histoire de la Terre.

Nous vous proposons de marcher sur les traces des savants genevois en reproduisant cette aventure, lors d’une randonnée de deux jours, en compagnie de chercheurs du Laboratoire d’histoire des sciences et des techniques de l’EPFL. Durant la marche, les historiens évoqueront en plusieurs points clés du parcours ces premières expéditions scientifiques en montagne, les expériences réalisées sur les pentes du Mont Buet, les récits et images rapportés de ces ascensions, ainsi que les débuts du tourisme dans la vallée de Chamonix, favorisés par l’activité savante.

Programme:

• J1 : Départ le matin de Vallorcine (transport en car organisé depuis la gare de Lausanne). Randonnée jusqu’au refuge. Arrivée en fin d’après-midi. Dîner et nuit au refuge.
• J2 : Randonnée depuis le refuge jusqu’au sommet du Mont Buet. Puis redescente jusqu’à Vallorcine. Arrivée à Vallorcine en fin d’après-midi puis retour organisé jusqu’à la gare de Lausanne.

Conditions de participation :

• Etre en très bonne condition phyique
• Ne pas rechigner à dormir en dortoir, sans douche (mais “toilette de chat” possible)
• Le second jour est plus exigeant (lever tôt, dénivelé important, longue journée de marche). Selon la demande, un groupe peut être prévu qui ne montera que jusqu’au refuge et redésecendra le lendemain.

Inscription :

• Sur inscription - Gratuit, limité à 30 personnes, entre 15 et 65 ans selon les conditions de santé
  Les inscriptions sont closes
  
  Les détails pratiques (matériel, vêtements, horaires…) seront transmis une fois les inscriptions terminées.

Workshop on ethics of AI in healthcare - The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into clinical care evolves and progresses rapidly, moving from diagnostic image analysis in radiology and dermatology to ever more complex applications such as predictions in intensive care units or psychiatric care. The most intricate ethical challenges arising from such AI systems in medicine are linked to epistemological questions, especially when the very design of a system renders it opaque to human understanding and threatens trust in its use.

While opaque AI systems such as deep learning models pose problems for many of its potential applications in society, their impact on medicine raises specific questions that require careful philosophical, ethical, and legal deliberation:
 

• How can informed consent, the bedrock of medical ethics, be obtained if a system is in principle unintelligible to its users?
• How can accountability be attributed in the complex field of interactions between patients, medical professionals, formal and informal caregivers, AI developers, and the AI system itself?
• What is a useful conceptual framework for trust in an AI system in medicine?
• And ultimately what makes trustworthy AI in medicine?

With the goal of enhancing their scientific collaborations on the ethics of AI systems, the College of Humanities  at EPFL, the Digital Society Initiative at the University of Zurich, and the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA USI-SUPSI are organising in Lausanne on September 7-9 2022 an international meeting aimed at  bringing together philosophers, computer scientists, engineers and medical professionals to discuss and outline possible answers to the aforementioned crucial questions.

Recent evolutions in the field of Focused Ion Beams are enabling unprecedented control over the shape and functionality of chemically complex materials. Unlike mature systems, such as Si which can be readily processed by lithographic means, novel materials often occur in the form of small, inhomogeneous particles which call for maskless fabrication methods. Furthermore, current trends in magnetic, topological and correlated quantum materials evolve around 3D metallic and semi-metallic compounds in which physical properties cannot be defined by electrostatic gates like silicon. Instead, their electronic functionality follows their 3D shape – calling for non-planar structuring methods. These challenges are well met by 3D FIB fabrication. I will review ongoing challenges in the field of microstructured quantum matter and paint an outlook of physics, material science and FIB developments on its path into the future.

When initiating infection or colonizing their environment, bacteria experience mechanical forces on surfaces, in flow, or within elastic materials. Despite their ubiquity, how mechanics shape bacterial physiology and behavior is unknown. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widespread opportunistic pathogen whose antibiotic resistance is rising at an alarming pace. P. aeruginosa is acutely adapted to life on surfaces: it uses surface-specific motility, injects pathogenic effectors into host cells upon contact, and forms biofilms on abiotic and biological materials. To investigate how mechanics potentiate P. aeruginosa’s surface adaptation arsenal, my lab has developed novel methodologies allowing to mechanically interrogate bacteria at multiple scales. I will first present how mechanics impact surface-specific twitching motility at the single cell level and biofilm morphogenesis at the multicellular level. Then, I will show that P. aeruginosa controls twitching in response to mechanical input. At the molecular scale, I will particularly emphasize the mechanosensory function of retractile filaments called type IV pili. Finally, I will discuss the ramifications of bacterial mechanobiology in the context of P. aeruginosa infections.

Alex Persat is currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the EPFL Global Health Institute and the Institute for Bioengineering. He obtained his BSc at Ecole Polytechnique, Paris and his MSc and PhD at Stanford University in Chemical and Mechanical Engineering respectively. After a postdoc in the department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University, he started his lab at EPFL where he combines engineering and microbiology approaches to understand how bacteria sense, respond and adapt to their mechanical environment.

This seminar is part of the evaluation of Dr Persat for the promotion to associate professor.
