In the first part of my talk, I will introduce a method we have developed that allows us to resolve the spatial distribution of stresses in sheared soft-materials, known as Boundary Stress Microscopy. We have applied this technique to suspensions undergoing shear thickening. I will present our results on the existence of clearly defined dynamically localized regions of substantially increased stress that appear intermittently at stresses well above the applied stress. Surprisingly, we find that these spatially distinct and dynamic phases quantitatively account for the observed shear thickening seen in sheared colloidal dispersions (e.g. Oobleck). In the second part of my talk I will discuss our results on the rheology of active matter. Our system is composed of microtubules and kinesin motor proteins that self-assemble to form complexes that propel themselves through the fluid. What results is a dramatic alteration in the measured viscosity. I will provide a simple physical model that fits the rheological response with zero fitting parameters. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Daniel Blair is a Professor of physics and a co-founding member of the Institute for Soft Matter Synthesis and Metrology I(SM)2 at Georgetown University.

This talk asks a simpler question that has received far less attention. When should students be allowed to use AI so that it helps their learning?<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this lunch&amp;LEARN session, Janne Rotter turns to a question that's been largely overlooked: not how, but when should students be allowed to use AI for it to actually support learning? Janne will present findings from a study of 105 university students comparing three conditions: unrestricted AI access, no access at all, and a \"timed\" condition where students could only turn to AI after first attempting the task on their own.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDrawing on multiple pedagogical theories to build a decision rule for when access should open up, the results show that students in the timed condition outperformed those with unrestricted access on an objective post-test, and had a more accurate sense of their own understanding, without an explicit metacognitive prompting. Compared to withholding AI entirely, timed access also seemed to reduce task errors and time spent on task.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nJoin us to learn more about the topic and engage in further discussion. <br>\r\n </p>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-09-24T15:53:46","last_modification_date":"2026-09-28T15:37:37","link_label":"Registration/zoom","link_url":"https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/9pBBuqZHQge7OmGTm0Kedg#/registration","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"ME A3 31","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ME%20A3%2031","url_online_room":"https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/9pBBuqZHQge7OmGTm0Kedg#/registration","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/janne.rotter?lang=en\">Janne Rotter</a>","organizer":"<a href=\"https://learn.epfl.ch/en/homepage/\">Center LEARN</a>","contact":"<a href=\"mailto:lunchLEARN@groupes.epfl.ch\">lunchLEARN@groupes.epfl.ch</a>","is_internal":"True","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":2,"fr_label":"Public averti","en_label":"Informed public"},"registration":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Sur inscription","en_label":"Registration required"},"keywords":"lunch&LEARN, Center LEARN, teaching, learning, AI","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121926/","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/3/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/65/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/85/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/323/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=json"]},{"id":72516,"title":"Julian Sartorius Concert - RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR","slug":"julian-sartorius-concert-rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr-2","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/julian-sartorius-concert-rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr-2","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33782/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33782/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33782/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-10-13","end_date":"2026-10-13","start_time":"12:00:00","end_time":"13:00:00","description":"<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\"><strong>Two concerts:</strong></div>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Tuesday, October 13,</strong> <strong>at noon: <a href=\"https://juliansartorius.bandcamp.com/album/rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr\">RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR </a></strong><br>\r\n\tDuration: 1 hour.<br>\r\n\tWith: Julian Sartorius, Romane Bouffioux, Jeanne Larrouturou, Julien Mégroz et Julien Annoni<br>\r\n\t </li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Tuesday, October 13,</strong> <strong>at 7:00 p.m.: solo </strong><br>\r\n\tDuration: 30 minutes<br>\r\n\tAs part of the opening for <a href=\"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/nonc-normally-open-normally-close-installation/\">NO/NC</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\"><br>\r\nKnown for his unique, playful, and highly virtuosic approach to his instrument, internationally renowned drummer <a href=\"http://www.juliansartorius.com/\">Julian Sartorius</a> will present RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR, a score composed for a percussion ensemble in which “R” stands for right hand and “L” stands for left hand.

His precise and rich rhythmic patterns are true explorations of the hidden sounds of found objects and prepared instruments, bridging the gap between organic timbres and the language of electronic music. Julian Sartorius has released numerous solo albums, created audiovisual works, collaborated with musicians, writers, and artists, and performed in everything from intimate venues to festival stages.</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\"><br>\r\nTrained at the jazz schools in Bern and Lucerne under the guidance of musicians such as Fabian Kuratli, Pierre Favre, and Norbert Pfammatter, Julian Sartorius developed a unique musical approach at a very early age. Fascinated by small-scale variations, the interplay of tension and release, density, and vibration, he has created projects such as the 12-vinyl box set *Beat Diary* (Everest Records, 2012), comprising 365 rhythmic pieces accompanied by a book of photographs; the daily series of eight-second loops “Morphblog” (2013–2019); and “Depot,” an audiovisual installation for 16 speakers and 16 screens, presented at the Kunstmuseum in Thun. For his album “Hidden Tracks: Basel – Geneva” (Everest Records, 2017), Julian walked more than 200 kilometers with his drumsticks and recording equipment, playing and capturing a multitude of sounds and textures from objects he encountered along the way.<br>\r\n </div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\">In recent years, Julian Sartorius has collaborated with numerous musicians, including Sophie Hunger, Sylvie Courvoisier, Gyda Valtysdottir, Dimlite, Shahzad Ismaily, and Dan Carey. His instantly recognizable percussion work also appears on recent albums by Kate Tempest, Matthew Herbert, and James Zoo. Julian Sartorius has toured and performed in North and South America, Asia, and Europe, sharing the stage with artists such as Marc Ribot, Deerhoof, Faust, Jaki Liebezeit, and Arto Lindsay.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n---  <br>\r\n<a href=\"http://usinesonore.ch/\"><strong>Usinesonore</strong></a><br>\r\nThe Usinesonore association shares its passion for music by promoting it through various activities in the Canton of Bern and beyond. It was previously invited to EPFL in 2017.<br>\r\nFounded in 2006 by Julien Annoni and Olivier Membrez, two young Bernese Jura natives passionate about contemporary music, the Usinesonore association organizes events centered on today’s music.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe association’s activities focus on three main areas: organizing the Usinesonore Festival, the Ensemble We Spoke, and organizing parallel events (traveling concerts, custom-designed events, outreach activities, etc.).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nEach event is shaped by careful consideration of how to share it with the audience. Usinesonore devotes all its energy to ensuring that the audience can experience the artistic moment, that they do not leave indifferent, and that they feel heard and supported throughout their experience.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Partner: <a href=\"http://usinesonore.ch/\">Usinesonore</a></strong><br>\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-09-03T16:34:42","last_modification_date":"2026-09-28T15:15:03","link_label":"Programme complet des Culturelles","link_url":"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"Hall SG","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%20094.11","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://www.juliansartorius.com/\">Julian Sartorius</a>, batteur<strong> ; </strong><a href=\"https://usinesonore.ch/\">Usinesonore</a>","organizer":"<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)","contact":"<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</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":"musique, concert, batterie","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121701/","category":{"id":9,"code":"MANIF","fr_label":"Événements festifs et culturels","en_label":"Cultural events","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=json"]},{"id":72692,"title":"Electronic Prototyping 2","slug":"electronic-prototyping-2","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/electronic-prototyping-2","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33917/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33917/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33917/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-10-07","end_date":"2026-10-07","start_time":"18:15:00","end_time":"20:00:00","description":"<p>Introduction to microcontroller programming, communications, analog circuits, and more!</p>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-09-28T13:24:46","last_modification_date":"2026-09-28T13:57:42","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"CM 1 5","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%205","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"Olive Petroff <br>\r\nRobin Arthur Guillaume-Gentil","organizer":"RoboPoly","contact":"comite@robopoly.ch","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/121959/","category":{"id":1,"code":"CONF","fr_label":"Conférences -

Join us for a hands-on morning of using and deploying the flagship model of the Swiss AI Initiative, learn first hand from the engineers and scientists working on Apertus.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n​The workshop runs from <strong>9:30 to 12:30</strong> at the EPFL AI Center Lounge in Lausanne. Doors open at 9:00.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n​<strong>Background</strong>: Apertus is a fully open large language model built in Switzerland, which is fully reproducible and can run on your own infrastructure. As a Foundation Model, it has already been adapted to specific contexts through post-training and fine-tuning processes. In addition to open access at all Swiss academic institutions, a growing number of Swiss and international commercial providers support Apertus for production deployment.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n​This workshop is also designed as a two-way conversation: alongside learning how to use and deploy Apertus, we want to hear how your organization is already working with AI, and where today's tools still fall short for you. We would like to hear about the languages, legal contexts, and use cases you operate in. This input will give us the opportunity to prioritize improvements for non-profit organizations on the Apertus roadmap.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n​At this workshop, you will have the chance to:\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li>​See how Apertus, a fully open, Swiss-built LLM, can be deployed on your own infrastructure</li>\r\n\t<li>​Get hands-on experience using the technology itself, not just a description of it</li>\r\n\t<li>​Tell the team building Apertus where it's falling short for your work, and help shape where it goes next</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n​The morning will include:\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>​An introduction to Apertus: what it is, how it works, and why self-hosting is possible</li>\r\n\t<li>​A live walkthrough of deploying Apertus on your own infrastructure</li>\r\n\t<li>​Hands-on exercises applying Apertus to tasks relevant to your organization</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n​Exact schedule will be sent to participants closer to the event.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>! <a href=\"https://luma.com/k910o3e1\">REGISTRATION REQUIRED !</a></strong></u>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-09-28T13:24:00","last_modification_date":"2026-09-28T13:29:08","link_label":"Registration required","link_url":"https://luma.com/k910o3e1","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"ELE 117","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ELE%20117","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://luma.com/k910o3e1\">See program</a>","organizer":"<a href=\"https://www.swiss-ai.org/\">Swiss AI Initiative</a>","contact":"<a href=\"https://luma.com/user/usr-N7kyqdDP9T2cIhr\">Clara Meister</a> &amp; <a href=\"https://luma.com/user/loleg\">Oleg Lavrovsky</a>","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Tout public","en_label":"General public"},"registration":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Sur inscription","en_label":"Registration required"},"keywords":"","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121957/","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=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=json"]},{"id":72689,"title":"Apprentissage sur des graphes, modèles d'attention.","slug":"apprentissage-sur-des-graphes-modeles-d-attentio-2","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/apprentissage-sur-des-graphes-modeles-d-attentio-2","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33915/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33915/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33915/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-10-12","end_date":"2026-10-12","start_time":"15:15:00","end_time":null,"description":"<p>Thesis Director: Prof. L.
