Two School of Engineering Professors win SNSF Eccellenza Grants
Maartje Bastings, an assistant professor with the Programmable Biomaterials Laboratory has been awarded an Eccellenza Grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The Swiss National Foundation’s Eccellenza Professorial Fellowships and SNSF Eccellenza Grants are given each year to “highly qualified young researchers who aspire to a permanent professorship.” The goal is to support these scientists in leading generously funded research ...
AI and NMR spectroscopy determine atoms configuration in record time
EPFL scientists have developed a machine-learning approach that can be combined with experiments to determine, in record time, the location of atoms in powdered solids. Their method can be applied to complex molecules containing thousands of atoms and could be of particular interest to the pharmaceutical industry. ...
