Professor Mark Pauly has replaced Professor Rüdiger Urbanke as Associate Dean for Education, Professor Anne-Marie Kermarrec is taking the helm from Mark Pauly as Director of the Computer Science Section and Professor Serge Vaudenay has been appointed Director of the Communications Systems Section, taking over from Professor Micheal Gastpar. 

Mark joined EPFL in 2009 and his research interests include computer graphics and animation, shape modeling and analysis, geometry processing, architectural geometry, and digital fabrication. 

Anne-Marie is a renowned computer scientist with wide-ranging academic and business experience. Her research investigates large-scale distributed systems and more precisely P2P systems, epidemic algorithms, distributed infrastructures for machine learning and privacy-aware personalization systems.
