University of Lausanne

Full professor ad personam at Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland.
Anders Meibom obtained his PhD in physics from the University of Southern Denmark in 1997. This was followed by two and a half years of PostDoc work at the Hawaii Institute for Geophysics and Planetology, where he conducted mineralogical studies of primitive chondritic meteorites.
From 2000 to 2005, he was Research Associate in the Geological & Environmental Sciences, Stanford University, where he represented Stanford in the USGS-Stanford ion microprobe laboratory. In this period his work focused mainly on mantle geochemistry.
In 2005, he became professor at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. From 2006 to 2011 he was the director of the French national NanoSIMS laboratory. His personal research focused shifted to calcium carbonate biomineralization of corals and other marine invertebrates. 
Since January 2012, he is professor at the EPFL in the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC).
From April 2014, he is professor ad personam at the Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Lausanne.

Courses

Introduction to environmental engineering

ENV-167

Key themes in environmental science and engineering will be show-cased, with examples - from equator to the poles - including atmospheric processes and climate change, water quality, energy resources and urban development, with the amazing technologies used to study and address current challenges.

Prototyping at the interface between disciplines

ENV-415

This course will allow students to engage in hands-on projects in a dedicated workshop environment - the SKIL. Students work together in small groups on projects formulated together with the teacher and the highly specialized team of lab-managers of the SKIL. Students can also bring their own ideas.

SKIL Student Kreativity and Innovation Laboratory

PENS-315

This course will allow students to engage in hands-on projects preferably defined by themselves, in a dedicated workshop environment. Students work together in small groups, with access to a wide range of tools, materials, software, etc. - assisted by highly specialized labmanagers.
