معرفی
Gabriel Aeppli is a leading physicist affiliated with the Paul Scherrer Institute as founding Head of the Photon Science Division since 2018. He is also a Professor of Physics at both ETH Zürich and EPF Lausanne, with prior leadership roles at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (2002-2014) and NEC Research Institute (1996-2002).
- Educational Background:
- BSc in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering (MIT)
- MSc and PhD in Electrical Engineering (MIT)
His research spans photon science, nanotechnology, and quantum information systems, with recent work focusing on non-destructive imaging of integrated circuits, quantum atom traps in silicon, and synthetic biology applications like lasing viruses for digital medicine. He has pioneered the use of synchrotrons, free-electron lasers, and accelerators for studying condensed matter systems.
Key trends in his publications include quantum computing materials, THz spectroscopy, and 3D imaging techniques for advanced electronics. His work bridges fundamental physics and commercial applications through initiatives like the London Centre for Nanotechnology and Bio-Nano Consulting.
Scientific Awards:
- Co-recipient, Ugo Fano Medal (2019)
- ERC Synergy Award (2018)
- Fellow of Royal Society (2010)
- Oliver Buckley Prize (2005)
- Neel Medal/Magnetism Prize (2003)
Aeppli has advised numerous research teams and contributed to major grants through his leadership roles. He currently oversees the Swiss Light Source synchrotron and SwissFEL, one of the world's five hard X-ray free-electron lasers.
