Which skills transfer naturally, which challenges emerge along the way, and how can scientists prepare for the shift?<br>\r\nIn this seminar, two speakers from different scientific backgrounds will share their personal journeys from academia to industry.They will offer honest, complementary perspectives on leaving university research, exploring the practical realities, challenges, and distinct working cultures of the industry sector.<br>\r\nThrough their experiences, participants will gain practical insights into recruitment processes, workplace expectations, and the opportunities available to scientists in industry.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Tristans's Bio: </strong>I got a PhD in aeronautical Engineering in 2011 from KTH, Stockholm, Sweden, with a thesis on Aerodynamics simulations of ground vehicles in unsteady crosswind.<br>\r\nAfter this, I worked with various Formula One teams from 2012 to 2025, starting as a CFD Engineer and moving to an Aerodynamicist role in 2014. Between 2022 and 2025, I have been involved in the development of the British Challenger for the 37th America’s Cup (iconic Yacht competition), leading the Fluid Dynamics team towards the end.<br>\r\nSince summer 2025, I am a scientist at LFMI on a FNS funded project “Why do albatrosses and pelicans morph to an arch-shaped wing configuration when gliding near the water surface?”.<strong> <br>\r\n<br>\r\nBertrand's Bio: </strong>After completing an Aerospace Engineering degree from ISAE-SUPAERO (Toulouse, France) and Université de Toulouse, where I specialized on Earth observation, numerical modeling and climate science, I completed my PhD at Météo-France's Center for Snow Studies (CEN, Grenoble, France). I worked for four years as a postdoc at the Snow and Avalanche Research Lab (SLF, Davos, Switzerland), at the interface between research and operational flood forecasting. Since 2025, I joined Hydrique Ingénieurs, in Lausanne, where I do numerical modeling for various projects related to water resources management and flood forecasting.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe talk will be followed by an informal apero!<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-21T15:33:37", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-22T16:07:51", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ME B1 10", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ME%20B1%2010", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/68096021948?pwd=DiE8amDIwYw1u3VtW2xWNGKtioKL2y.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/tristan.favre?lang=en\">Tristan Favre</a> (<a href=\"https://lfmi.epfl.ch/\">LFMI</a>, EPFL), Bertrand Cluzet (<a href=\"https://hydrique.ch/fr\">Hydrique Ingénieurs</a>)", "organizer": "MEGA.Seminar Organizing Committee", "contact": "<a href=\"http://[email protected]/\">Aliénor Riviere</a>, <a href=\"http://[email protected]/\">Danick Lamoureux</a>, <a href=\"http://[email protected]/\">Jacopo Bilotto</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": "Career Development, Transferable Skills", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120824/", "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/232/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/245/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71926, "title": "Workshop series “Responsible AI skills for education”", "slug": "workshop-series-responsible-ai-skills-for-educat-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/workshop-series-responsible-ai-skills-for-educat-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33242/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33242/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33242/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-04", "end_date": "2026-06-04", "start_time": "13:00:00", "end_time": "14:00:00", "description": "<p>Current research indicates that the role of generative AI in education is a double-edged sword: on one hand it can assist teachers for designing effective learning tasks and resources, on the other hand it can have negative effects on student learning and raises a range of ethical questions.<br>\r\nIn our new workshop series “Responsible AI skills for education” we will try to navigate these questions by focusing on specific teaching and learning activities and identifying practical skills you can develop for your everyday practice.

In this talk, I will suggest that theoretical computer science offers a way to design and build alternatives. Drawing on work on Self-Proving Models and on research with the Cetacean Translation Initiative (Project CETI), I will describe how theory can help turn ideas such as verification and respect for the object of study into well-defined research questions.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 2:</strong> <strong>Before You Train That Model: Legal and Ethical Basics for AI Research at EPFL </strong>(15 min)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/gaia.barazzetti\">Gaia Barazzetti</a> – Senior Research Ethics Compliance Officer, EPFL Research Office and <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/valentin.conrad\">Valentin Conrad</a> – Senior Legal Counsel, EPFL Legal Affairs<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTaking scientific integrity as a starting point, this presentation provides an overview of the legal and ethical rules that apply to AI research at EPFL.

This presentation focuses on the practical work of ethics committees in reviewing research projects involving AI. It highlights how committees examine assumptions, risks, impacts, and responsibilities throughout the research process, including the use of AI as a tool and as an object of study. The talk aims to clarify the specific contribution of ethics review in supporting responsible and reflective AI enabled research.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 4: AI for research and research about AI: a responsible design approach </strong>(10 min)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/cecile.hardebolle\">Cécile Hardebolle</a> – Teaching Advisor (EPFL CEDE), Project Officer (EPFL LEARN) and Lecturer (EPFL SIN)<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAI is increasingly present in research, whether as a tool or as an object of research, which raises specific risks if ethical considerations are overlooked. This talk presents a practical approach to identifying, assessing, and managing these risks throughout the research lifecycle by embedding responsible design practices from the start.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Panel for Q&A, open discussion</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nModeration by <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/nora.turoman\">Nóra Turoman</a>, Training Specialist for Academic and Research Support – EPFL Library.<br>\r\n \r\n<div> </div>\r\nThe event is free upon <a href=\"https://bookwhen.com/epfl_library/e/ev-sbesy-20260526121500\">registration</a>.

We uncovered a new mechanism for coincidence detection in the Drosophila head direction network. To maintain an accurate sense of direction, head direction neurons that signal orientation during navigation must learn to anchor to relevant external sensory cues in novel environments. Yet the synaptic mechanism for this form of unsupervised learning is unknown in any organism. In Drosophila, GABAergic visual inputs converge onto head direction neurons, and these inhibitory synapses change strength with experience to learn the relationship between visual landmarks and head direction. However, how coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity is detected across this inhibitory synapse is not understood. We discovered that neurons which release the monoamine octopamine close a feedback loop that conveys postsynaptic head direction activity onto presynaptic terminals of visual inputs. This octopamine pathway is required for anchoring the head direction network to visual cues. Furthermore, pairing structured activation of octopamine neurons with a visual cue is sufficient to drive rapid plasticity, even without postsynaptic head direction cell activity. Previous work has extensively characterized coincidence detection mechanisms at excitatory synapses; our work defines a novel mechanism for coincidence detection at an inhibitory synapse, in which postsynaptic activity is relayed via a neuromodulatory neuron onto presynaptic terminals.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:26:07", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:34:30", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/yvette-fisher", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Yvette Fisher, UC Berkeley", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: Pavan Ramdya", "contact": "[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": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119404/", "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/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/19/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/88/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70929, "title": "BMI Distinguished Seminar // Manish Saggar", "slug": "bmi-distinguished-seminar-manish-saggar", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bmi-distinguished-seminar-manish-saggar", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-09-09", "end_date": "2026-09-09", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:42:23", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:33:32", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://profiles.stanford.edu/manish-saggar", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Manish Saggar, Stanford University", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: K.
