By isolating graphene for the first time, a sheet of carbon just one atom thick, he opened an entirely new field of research, with profound implications for electronics, energy and quantum technologies.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Picture this: it was from the graphite of an ordinary pencil lead that this \"super-material\" was first isolated. Using nothing more than a piece of adhesive tape to peel away a layer a single atom thick, Konstantin Novoselov revealed to the world a material with extraordinary properties. A million times thinner than a human hair, 200 times stronger than steel and remarkably conductive, graphene pushes every limit. From the lead of your pencil to the batteries of tomorrow, join us to discover how a deceptively simple gesture set off a genuine technological revolution.</em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis Campus Lecture offers an introduction to that revolution: how a two-dimensional material is transforming our understanding of matter and how today's fundamental discoveries become tomorrow's technologies.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About Konstantin Novoselov</strong><br>\r\nKonstantin Novoselov is a physicist specialising in condensed matter and nanotechnology. He conducted his Nobel Prize–winning research at the University of Manchester, where, together with Professor Andre Geim, he isolated graphene for the first time. He has held academic positions in the United Kingdom as well as internationally and is currently based at the National University of Singapore. Widely recognised as a leading figure in the study and application of two-dimensional materials, he has received numerous honours for his contributions to science.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-08-18T11:48:33", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-01T09:58:59", "link_label": "Inscription", "link_url": "https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/8wFYA27p68", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "RLC E1 240", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20E1%20240", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Konstantin Novoselov", "organizer": "MédiaCom", "contact": "Nicolas Hocq", "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/121450/", "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/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/389/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/417/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72700, "title": "The Case for Collaboration and a New Paradigm for Machine Learning", "slug": "the-case-for-collaboration-and-a-new-paradigm-for", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/the-case-for-collaboration-and-a-new-paradigm-for", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33928/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33928/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33928/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-11", "end_date": "2026-11-11", "start_time": "18:30:00", "end_time": "21:00:00", "description": "<p>Since 2006, the Erna Hamburger Prize is awarded by the EPFL-WISH Foundation (Women In Science and Humanities) and distinguishes influential, leading women scientists who are transforming their field and executing change.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe Erna Hamburger Prize 2026 will be awarded to Prof. Margo Seltzer. The award ceremony will be held on November 11th 2026 at 6:30 pm at SG 1138. On this occasion, the awardee will give a conference on the EPFL Campus.

Is our future really just all about prompt engineering?</em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAt a time when artificial intelligence, autonomous agents and large language models seem to be presented as the answer to every challenge, <strong>Margo Seltzer</strong> offers a thought-provoking perspective on the value of simplicity in computer science and machine learning. She will demonstrate how simpler and more transparent approaches can deliver performance comparable to that of the most sophisticated models, while providing greater interpretability, more efficient use of resources and a more natural way of addressing issues of fairness and privacy. The lecture will also explore a theme that lies at the heart of her career: <strong>collaboration</strong>. Drawing on her own experience of collaborative research, Margo Seltzer will explain how working together can broaden one’s impact, help overcome imposter syndrome, and enable individuals to discover and develop their unique strengths.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About Prof. Margo Seltzer</strong><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.seltzer.com/margo\">Prof. Margo Seltzer</a> is Co-Head of the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver), where she moved after two decades as a Full Professor at Harvard University.

Many real-world missions, however, require satisfying logical precedence constraints: collecting resources before accessing restricted zones, completing subtasks in a prescribed order, or acquiring tools before they can be used. This talk presents the augmented graph of convex sets (augmented GCS) framework, which unifies continuous trajectory optimization and combinatorial task sequencing within a single optimization problem.<br>\r\nThe key insight is that a layered augmented GCS, built on an exact convex partition of the free space, simultaneously selects an optimal task completion sequence and computes an optimal continuous trajectory. A shortest path in the augmented GCS solves both problems at once, yielding an exact solution up to a finite Bézier curve parameterization. The layered structure of the augmented GCS turns out to implement precisely the Bellman-Held-Karp (BHK) dynamic programming algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem, establishing a formal correspondence between our framework and the combinatorial TSP literature. This makes augmented GCS a continuous-geometry generalization of BHK, achieving the same singly exponential worst-case complexity, an exponential improvement over general-purpose temporal logic tools. We further develop a library of mission specification variations (including ordered collection, disjunctive keys, conjunctive doors, timed constraints, and conditional logic) each with proven correctness, substantially expanding the range of expressible mission types. Numerical experiments confirm exponential speedups in practice and near-global-optimality on a large benchmark suite.<br>\r\nTime permitting, I will briefly discuss ongoing extensions, including spacetime augmented GCS for dynamic environments, safety-aware planning via conformal prediction sets, and a galactic survey benchmark inspired by space mission planning that stress-tests the framework at scale.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Tyler Summers is an associate professor at the University of Texas at Dallas.

Formerly Research Associate at EPFL's Urban Transportation Systems Laboratory (LUTS) and an EPFL Data Champion.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n\"In October 2022, a fleet of ten drones spent four days filming traffic across the smart city of Songdo, South Korea, producing terabytes of 4K aerial video. This talk follows what happened next: how that raw footage became a connected set of openly available research outputs. The project released two datasets (vehicle trajectories and annotated aerial imagery), three reusable software tools, a ready-to-use machine learning model, an interactive online demo, and a peer-reviewed open access paper tying everything together, each one cross-linked, citable, and archived for the long term. Using this as a worked example, I will share practical lessons on making research outputs findable, reusable, properly licensed, and cited, including a few surprises about which parts the community valued most.\"<br>\r\n<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 2 |</strong> <strong>DISDRODB: a decentralized data base of drop size distribution observations, and much more</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/alexis.berne\">Prof. Alexis Berne</a> – Associate Professor, Head of Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory, EPFL ENAC<br>\r\n<br>\r\n\"The raindrop size distribution is a crucial information for atmospheric sciences, remote sensing and communications. Its current observations (from disdrometers) are rather spread between countries and institutions with heterogeneous variables and formats, hampering easy and broad access to public analysis-ready data sets. DISDRODB is an infrastructure (with associated softwares) aiming to provide a unified framework for the systematic sharing, standardization, and processing of disdrometer data. I will introduce DISDRODB and discuss the challenges to develop such tools.\"<br>\r\n<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 3 | Open data for better science policy</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/gaetan.derassenfosse?lang=fr\">Prof. Gaétan de Rassenfosse</a> – Associate Professor, Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Laboratory, EPFL CDM<br>\r\n<br>\r\n\"This talk will present several Science,Technology and Innovation Policy Laboratory initiatives aimed at producing open datasets to support more evidence-based policymaking in science and innovation.\"<br>\r\n<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/francesco.varrato?lang=en\">Dr. Francesco Varrato</a> – Research data management specialist, Academic and research support at EPFL Library.", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-10T12:30:13", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-11T08:45:45", "link_label": "Registration", "link_url": "https://bookwhen.com/fr/epfl_library/e/ev-sy7q5-20261006121500", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 2", "url_place_and_room": "http://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%202", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/gaetan.derassenfosse?lang=fr\">Gaétan de Rassenfosse</a>;
