Emile Dupont Doctoral Program in Microsystems and Microelectronics birth date: 23.08.1982 nationality: Italian web site: http://emiledupont.x10hosting.com/ office(s): BM3135 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 30898 private phone: [+41] (0)78 679 66 55 BIOGRAPHY Emile Dupont was born in Aosta (Italy) in the summer of 1982. His french name comes from the bilingual status of Valle d'Aosta region. He received his B.S. from Politecnico di Torino in "Information Engineering", and his M.S. in "Micro and Nano Technologies for Integrated Systems" from Politecnico di Torino, Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble and EPFL in 2006, both of them with maximum grades. He worked for almost three months, in summer 2005, as a visiting student within the Electronics Devices and Materials Group (http://www-g.eng.cam.ac.uk/edm/index.html) in Cambridge University, studying and simulating (with ANSYS) MEMS such as thermal actuators, mechanical locks, microcages and shape memory alloys. He spent 10 months at CERN, Geneva, in the CFD Group (http://www.cern.ch/cfd), for his Master Thesis that concerned "From Macro to Micro Computational Fluid Dynamics". He also designed and realised the group's website. He is now working towards his Ph.D. in LMIS 2 Group of Prof. Gijs, in the frame of the "Lab-on-a-chip for analysis and diagnostics" project, approved by the Competence Centre for Materials Science and Technology - Materials for micro- and nanosystems research unit - MMNS (www.ccmx.ch) Education Bachelor of Science, Information Technologies Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, 09.2001-09.2004 Master of Science, Micro and Nano Technologies for IC, Politecnico di Torino, Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de, 09.2004-09.2006 Ph.D., Microfluidics, Bio-MEMS, Lab-on-a-chip, Martin Gijs, EPFL-STI-IMM-LMIS2, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, 2007-current MAIN PUBLICATIONS E. P.
