This can be extended to resolve nanostructure orientation voxel-by-voxel in three dimensions in a method called SAXS tensor tomography, which we implement in our open-source software package Mumott. In this presentation, I will show how this approach, and its continued development, can be applied across different material systems.<br>\r\nFor injection-molded polymer packaging, SAXS imaging has resolved the layered anisotropic nanostructure important for its mechanical properties, and, combined with industrial processing simulations, the structure formation during thermal processing. Another example is bone, where resolving structure requires both three-dimensional information and sufficient sampling to capture biological variability. Combining 2D and 3D SAXS imaging, we studied regional differences in the human femoral neck, an anatomical site relevant to hip fractures, and, at higher resolution, resolved alternating chirality between neighboring lamellae within individual osteons, a structural feature proposed on mechanical grounds over a century ago.<br>\r\nThese examples illustrate how tensor tomography, extended beyond X-ray scattering to wide-angle diffraction and visible-light polarimetry, provides a route to resolving hierarchical structure across a wide range of material systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBio:<strong> </strong>Marianne Liebi studied food science at ETH Zurich, where she also completed her PhD in 2013, followed by postdoctoral research at the Paul Scherrer Institute and MAX IV Laboratory, Lund. In 2017, she started her own research group at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, and was appointed in 2021 as tenure-track Assistant Professor at EPFL, where she heads the Laboratory for X-ray Characterization of Materials (cam-X) within the Institute of Materials, in a joint position with the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). Her research develops advanced X-ray and optical imaging techniques, centered on small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) in 2D and 3D, to resolve the hierarchical structure of materials ranging from fiber composites to pharmaceutical formulations and bone.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-10-05T09:26:03", "last_modification_date": "2026-10-05T10:29:57", "link_label": "Website", "link_url": "https://www.psi.ch/de/lsc/people/marianne-liebi", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BM 5202", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BM%205202", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/63884474245", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Marianne Liebi, EPFL STI IMX CAM-X", "organizer": "Prof. Michele Ceriotti", "contact": "Prof. Michele Ceriotti", "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/122060/", "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/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/314/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72440, "title": "Resolving Ill-Posedness and Singularity in Functional Inference via Operator Geometries", "slug": "resolving-ill-posedness-and-singularity-in-funct-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/resolving-ill-posedness-and-singularity-in-funct-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33688/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33688/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33688/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-12-03", "end_date": "2026-12-03", "start_time": "17:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Thesis Director: Prof. V.

His work has been exhibited and published widely, including in Architectural Research Quarterly (arq), Arch+, and journalistic outlets such as Blueprint, Prospect, and Volume. Ross has experience of practice in the UK and US, including a period of 5 years with Malcolm Fraser Architects, and maintains a relationship with professional practice as co-founder of ESALA Projects, a consultancy offering pro-bono and for-fee design services to public and third-sector clients. His most recent work, published in January 2026 in Architectural Research Quarterly, includes a co-authored article with Jon Goodbun entitled ‘Design and the extended building site: Ecologies of production and the production of ecologies’, which reframes the building site as an 'extended' socioecological system reaching across the global supply chains, material extraction, and labour that construction depends on, arguing that building is an ecological and political process rather than a purely material one.", "organizer": "RIOT, MAS UTD", "contact": "Elif Erez, [email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "risk, territory, ecology, architecture, spatial justice, material supply chains, extraction", "file": "https://memento.epfl.ch/public/upload/files/2026PressurePointsPosterA3UPDATED_a2BW9qX.jpg", "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121826/", "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/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72600, "title": "Strong Electronic Correlations at Solid--Liquid Interfaces", "slug": "strong-electronic-correlations-at-solid-liquid-i-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/strong-electronic-correlations-at-solid-liquid-i-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33844/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33844/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33844/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-14", "end_date": "2026-10-14", "start_time": "17:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Thesis Director: Prof. N.

Yet ecological risk—pollution, fires, floods, heatwaves, droughts—is still presented as problems to be solved rather than conditions to be inhabited. This also speaks to an outsourcing of risk through externalized consequences of spatial injustice. Banks, developers, material supply chains, normative institutions, subcontracting hierarchies —all contend with calculated risk. This edition of <u>Pressure Points</u> asks us to unpack what it means to live with the risk, how it is managed, commodified, quantified, invented, politicized, instrumentalized, tamed, and to think, design, cohabitate intellectually and physically with it. The assembled guests should help us think and build literacy toward developing tools for living within uncertain territories and futures.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Jess Myers</u><br>\r\nMonday, November 16, 17:00 CET<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://soa.syr.edu/live/profiles/1181-jess-myers\"><u>Jess Myers</u></a> is an urbanist whose practice includes work as an editor, writer, podcaster and curator, and is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Syracuse University.
