The interaction and networking with the community is essential to our activity: indeed, we teach to and learn from each other. The circle symbolizes the flow of information among peers as well as a paradigm where crossbreeding of ideas and methods is key to scientific advances. This message will be portrayed with examples from my scientific career and a vision of the future.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About the speaker</strong><br>\r\nGiovanni De Micheli is currently the Scientific Director of the EcoCloud center at EPFL. He was professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford and EPFL for 40 years. Prof. De Micheli is a Fellow of ACM, AAAS and IEEE, elected member of 4 Academies, including the US National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was the recipient of the 2025 IEEE Gustav Kirchhoff Award, the 2022 ESDA-IEEE Phil Kaufman Award and several other awards.<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "Honorary Lecture - Prof. Giovanni De Micheli", "creation_date": "2025-07-11T16:13:38", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-04T15:47:11", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CO 2", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CO%202", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Sabine Süsstrunk, Dean of IC School and Prof. Adrian Ionescu, Dean of STI School, Prof. Giovanni De Micheli, Prof. Edouard Bugnion, Vice President for Innovation and Impact", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/schools/ic/\">IC School</a> ", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "honorary lecture, leçon d'honneur, Giovanni De Micheli, computer science, IC School, STI School, AI", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/117133/", "category": { "id": 8, "code": "LI", "fr_label": "Leçons inaugurales - Leçons d'honneur", "en_label": "Inaugural lectures - Honorary Lecture", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 69477, "title": "Prof. Annalisa Buffa will be plenary speaker for the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2026)", "slug": "prof-annalisa-buffa-will-be-plenary-speaker-for-th", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/prof-annalisa-buffa-will-be-plenary-speaker-for-th", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/30987/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/30987/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/30987/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-07-23", "end_date": "2026-07-30", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Prof. Annalisa Buffa will be plenary speaker for the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2026) in Philadelphia, USA : https://www.icm2026.org/event/ac193975-5d24-4628-8c30-ddb23de19a8b/speakers</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2025-07-14T11:13:21", "last_modification_date": "2025-07-14T11:22:48", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "https://www.icm2026.org/event/ac193975-5d24-4628-8c30-ddb23de19a8b/speakers", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "", "organizer": "", "contact": "Pauline Bataillard", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/117139/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 69714, "title": "ERC Advanced Grants 2026", "slug": "erc-advanced-grants-2026", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/erc-advanced-grants-2026", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31203/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31203/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31203/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-08-27", "end_date": "2026-08-27", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>Call currently closed</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Aim</strong><br>\r\nSupport for excellent Principal Investigators at the career stage at which they are already established research leaders with a recognised track record of research achievements.

Motivated by recent results on the higher moments of the SHE in two dimensions at $L^{2}$-criticality, a natural question is whether the higher moments of the SHE in high dimensions also converge at the $L^{2}$-critical point. Our main result gives a negative answer: in high dimensions, the higher moments diverge when the coupling constant belongs to a nontrivial right-closed interval whose upper endpoint is the $L^{2}$-critical point. In particular, we obtain a sharp bound for the critical coupling constant at which the corresponding limiting higher moment undergoes a phase transition. As an application to the continuous directed polymer, we derive a sharp estimate for quantity believed to be closely related to the tail probability of the limiting partition function.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2025-09-12T13:47:07", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-30T15:59:29", "link_label": "Working-Reading Seminar", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/labs/stoan/reading-working-seminar/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MA B2 485", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr Te-Chun Wang (EPFL)", "organizer": " <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Expert", "en_label": "Expert" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Reading-Working Seminar", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/117635/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/403/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70040, "title": "“The end of KRAS cancers?”", "slug": "the-end-of-kras-cancers", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/the-end-of-kras-cancers", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31503/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31503/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31503/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-07", "end_date": "2026-05-07", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "<strong>A Lola and John Grace Distinguished Lecture in Cancer Research</strong>\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98cefd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><br>\r\nFrank McCormick, PhD, is a Professor at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and holds the David A.

On the sensory side, I will present models of whisker mechanics and signal encoding by primary sensory neurons. On the motor side, I will describe models of whisker musculature and emerging insights into the circuits that generate whisker movements. I will then outline key challenges in linking sensing to movement within an integrated closed-loop framework. The second part of the talk will highlight how whiskers interact with moving air.
