Anders Meibom

Anders Meibom is a Full Professor at both École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Lausanne. At EPFL, he is affiliated with the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC), where he leads the Laboratory for Biological Geochemistry (LGB). He also holds a professor ad personam position at the Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Lausanne. His roles include teaching in Environmental Sciences and Engineering and serving on the CDH Academic Evaluation Committee.

His research focuses on Environmental Bio-Geo-Chemistry, sub-cellular stable isotope imaging, and biomineralization in marine systems. He is a pioneer in the use of NanoSIMS for high-resolution isotopic imaging, enabling breakthroughs in understanding cell metabolism and biogeochemical processes. His work bridges disciplines such as geochemistry, biology, and physics.

His recent publications span fields including isotope geochemistry, cosmochemistry, marine biology, and analytical method development. The integration of NanoSIMS with biological systems has led to innovative studies on coral calcification, microbial metabolisms, and early solar system materials.
