Cécile Hébert

Leading the Center for Electron Microscopy, I see my task as beeing threefold: -- guarantee a high level Electron Microscopy at EPFL by providing research in new techniques of Electron Microscopy. The fields currently covered are: - Computational Electron Microscopy with the JEMS programm (P. Stadelmann) - Angular resolved Electron Energy Loss Spectrometry (C. Hébert) - Three dimensional imaging and Chemical Analysis in a FIB. (M. Cantoni) - STEM- Chathodoluminescens and STEM-EELS (P. Stadelmann, C. Hébert) -- provide a high level service to the EPFL community taking into account its variety and evolution. Currently the main developpement effort is devoted to the Electron Microscopy in the field of Life sciences -- Provide high level teaching and training to the many students and users of the EPFL community

Biography

Cécile Hébert was born in France in 1970. She obtained her Ingeneer degree (physics) and her PhD degree (design of a new energy filter for transmission electron microscopy, under the direction of Prof. B. Jouffrey) at the Ecole Centrale in Paris. As a post doc with Prof. P. Schattschneider, she was working on the calculation of the fine structure of ionisation edges in EELS. As a research assistant at the Vienna University of Technology, she was one of the main participant to the CHIRALTEM project dealing with the measurement of magnetic circular dichroism in the electron microscope.

Courses

General physics : mechanics (flipped classroom)

The course establishes the basic notions that will allow the student to have a better understanding of the physical phenomena in mechanics. The students acquires the capability to quantitatively analyse the consequences of these effects with appropriate theoretical tools.

Advanced physics II (thermodynamics)

This course presents thermodynamics as a means of describing a large number of important phenomena in physics, chemistry, and engineering, including transport effects. An introduction to statistical physics reinforces the notions acquired thanks to microscopic modeling.

Electron Matter Interactions in Transmission Electron Microscopy

This course will present the fundamentals of electronâmatter interactions, as occuring in the energy range available in modern transmission electron microscopes, namely 60-300 keV electrons. Diffraction and high-resolution image formation as well as electron energy-loss spectrometry will be covere
