BIOGRAPHY
Sebastian Gautsch received his M.A.Sc. degree in Electronical physics from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 1998. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in the field of micro-mechanical systems from the Institute of Microtechnology (IMT), University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 2001. His PHD thesis has been done in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laborytory (JPL) in Pasadena and led to the successful operation of an Atomic Force Microscope on the Phoenix mission to Mars in 2008. He is currently a team leader at EPFL IMT SAMLAB in the field of Tools for Nanoscience.
