Dr. Daniele Passerone is leading the group of Computational Chemistry in the Nanotech and Surfaces Laboratory at EMPA. At the user day, he presented a poster on “Nanoscience surfaces: from substrate to adsorbate”. Andrey Sheyko, PhD student in the group of Professor Andrew Jackson in the Institute for Geophysics at ETH Zurich presents his poster [...]
We continue with our series of scientists explaining their posters presented at CSCS User Day. Samuel Hertig is a PhD student in the Biologically Oriented Materials Laboratory of ETH Zurich lead by Professor Viola Vogel. Samuel won the CSCS User Day 2011 Best Poster Award with the poster on “Engineering mechanosensitive interactions: Lessons learned from [...]
The CSCS User Day brought together around 60 users in Lucerne on 23 September. Exciting scientific lectures, lively two-minute personal poster presentations by scientists and discussions were the order of the day in Lucerne . In the next weeks we will present some videos of researchers explaining their posters and the videos of the three [...]
Christoph Grab is professor for experimental physics at ETH Zurich and coordinates the computing infrastructure for the Swiss particle physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN. In this interview Christoph tells us what scientific questions the LHC experiments want to answer. He summarizes the most important results that have been presented at [...]
The research group led by Viola Vogel, Professor of Biologically Oriented Materials at ETH Zurich, has studied with the help of supercomputers the mechanisms behind the infections of wounds. If connective tissue fibres are under tension, bacteria do not bind to them so well. However, if the fibres are severed and slackened by a cut, [...]
