Cristina Martin-Olmos manages the Cryo-SEM facility at CASA, the joint EPFL–UNIL microscopy center. She holds a PhD in Electronic Engineering, together with Master's degrees in Electronic Engineering and Physics, from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and brings over 20 years of experience in microscopy, MEMS, and cleanroom processes across both academia and industry. Her career has taken her through EPFL, UCLA, CSEM, and SICHH, with research spanning bio-AFM, soft-MEMS prototyping, and correlative microscopy applied to materials and life sciences. She has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed publications (h-index 22), holds one patent, and has led or contributed to a wide range of competitive research grants, including an SNSF Ambizione fellowship and an EU Marie Curie award. Alongside her research and platform management work, she is an active mentor and lecturer, co-advising Master's and PhD students and teaching electron microscopy at UNIL.
