Ludger Weber
Mission
Je suis responsable d'un group de recherche dans le domaine des composites à matrice métallique à des fins d'utilisation comme corps de refroidissement. Depuis quelque temps nous dévelopons des composites contenant du diamant synthétique pour profiter du faible coefficient de dilatation thermique et de la conductibilité thermique exceptionnelle de ce dernier. Bien que le point de départ de nos recherches soit une application, nous menons surtout des recherches fondamentales sur les techniques et théories à la base du succès d'un tel composite.
Depuis quelques années nous poursuivons aussi une activité de recherche dan s le domaine des métaux précieux ultra-durs en collaboration avec l'industrie locale.
AE et Conseil de Fac
Je me suis porté candidat pour l'assemblée d'école et le Conseil de Faculté du STI parce que je ne veux pas rester dans la position de celui qui critique les évolutions au niveau de l'école et de la faculté mais je veux m'engager pour trouver de bonnes solutions à des problèmes qui sont souvent complexes. L'AE et le conseil de faculté me semblent des lieux idéaux pour debattre avec d'autres personnes engagées, notamment des membres d'autres corps qui ont une sensibilité et des préoccupations différentes des miennes.
En 2004 et ensuite en début 2008, j'ai hérité une place à l'assemblée d'école en tant que représentant du CI étant le premier sur la liste des suppléants, depuis, j'ai été réelu à deux reprises. Durant mon mandat à l'AE, je me suis aperçu que j'aimais bien me pencher sur des dossier de textes légaux qui ont une portée sur notre vie sur le campus. C'est pour cela que j'aimerais continuer à apporter mon grain de sel dans les discussions et à défendre l'intérêt du corps intermédiaire au sein des institutions paritaires. Depuis que j'ai été nommé MER j'ai passé dans le corps des enseignants. Bien que mon poste ne me confronte avec toutes les difficultés d'un chef d'unité je pense d'être capable de défendre le point de vu de mes collègues professeurs.
Biographie
Né en suisse allémannique j'ai fait mes études à l'EPFZ pour, après mon doctorat en 1997, rejoindre le laboratoire de Métallurgie Mécanique du Prof. Mortensen à l'EPFL, d'abord comme Post-Doc, ensuite comme premier assistant et chargé de cours, fonction que je remplie encore aujourd'hui.
Je suis marié et père de trois enfants nés en 2002, 2004, et 2006. Depuis 2004, nous sommes installés au Mont sur Lausanne.
