New appointments in STI
Dr Karim Achouri, currently Scientist at EPFL, as Assistant Professor of Electrical and Micro Engineering in the School of Engineering (STI)
Karim Achouri's research activities focus on the mathematical synthesis and practical realisation of electromagnetic meta-surfaces and their applications. His work covers a wide range of topics, including birefringence, bianisotropy, non-reciprocity and non-linearity, with concepts applying to both microwave and optical regimes. In 2021, he received an SNSF Ambizione Fellowship, followed, in 2023, by an SNSF Starting Grant
Dr Eunok Yim, currently Lead Engineer at General Electric Renewable Energy – Hydropower in Birr, as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the School of Engineering (STI)
Eunok Yim is an expert in computational and theoretical fluid mechanics. Her research focuses on the analysis of fluid instabilities, turbulence, thermal coupling, and efficiency of hydraulic machines, such as turbines and generators. She pioneered a new class of theoretical models for the analysis and control of fluid instabilities. Her expertise will strengthen and extend the visibility of EPFL activities in the field of hydropower and create new interactions with industrial players.
