I will be your voice at the school assembly
With the decision of the EPFL upper management to promote the Bottom-Up decision, the role of the School Assembly is more important than ever.I wish to rejoin the EPFL Assembly and represent the Intermediate Body, ensuring our community's active participation in democratic processes. Alongside colleagues from other bodies, we will work to enable the School Assembly to contribute significantly to the school's governance. Having previously served as a member of the School Assembly, I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to this endeavor.
As a scientist working in a technology and research platform, I believe that representing the interests and views of the platform scientists - who play a pivotal role in the advancement of EPFL's research - in the School Assembly is essential to strengthening EPFL's position as a leading teaching and research institution. I am convinced that we do our best work when we have a strong sense of belonging, representation, and the opportunity to share our best thoughts and put forward our ideas.
I believe that my experience in representing several corps on various committees, which are listed below, will be a plus for my candidature.
- 2023-Present: Representative of EPFL's Intermediate Body to The School Assembly
- 2021-Present: Representative of EPFL teaching community to the Campuses Energy Commission (CECOM) and COVID-19 Operational Committee
- 2019-Present: Member of the EPFL Teachers' Council (CCE)
- 2019-Present: Elected as one of the four members of CCE Bureau
- 2016-2018: Representative of the intermediate body to the Council of the Institute of Chemistry (ISIC)

Biography
Dr Emad Oveisi is a senior scientist at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Electron Microscopy (CIME), EPFL. Emad graduated with a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at EPFL in 2014 for a thesis on the "Three-Dimensional STEM Imaging of Dislocations" under the direction of Prof. Cécile Hébert. Post-doctoral research at the centre for electron microscopy gave him the opportunity to peruse cutting-edge research on one of the most modern aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopes. In 2022, Emad was promoted to the status of Research and Teaching Associate.Since the inauguration of the Energypolis campus of EPFL in Sion, he has been the manager and reference scientist of the electron microscopy platform of EPFL-Valais, working with 12 research groups and more than 250 researchers. In addition to this core responsibility, he provides advanced microscopy consulting and service to EPFL scientists and assists their research to the highest level possible. Emad Oveisi’s research focuses on the application and development of novel electron microscopy techniques, with emphasis on 3D imaging of crystal defects, as well as the precision measurement of materials properties using aberration-corrected S/TEM.
Emad Oveisi's pioneering work in the field of electron microscopy has earned him two prestigious awards: the Microscopy Innovation Award for his invention of the "Single-shot three-dimensional electron imaging" technique, which allows real-time 3D imaging of in situ dynamics, and the Rodolphe and Renée Haenny Prize for his important contributions to the development of electron microscopy techniques and his dedication to teaching.
In addition to the scientific work, Emad is actively involved in the academic and social life of EPFL. He is currently a member of the EPFL School Assembly. Since 2019, he has been an elected member of EPFL Teachers Council (CCE) and has also been elected as one of the four members of its Bureau. This role allows him to be exposed to new ideas and pedagogical challenges, as well as being involved in discussions with the Vice Presidency of Education (VPE) and other teaching organisations for defining teaching strategies at the EPFL. Emad also represents the teaching community in the Campuses Energy Commission (CECOM) and COVID-19 Operating Committee of EPFL.
