Congratulations on this great accomplishment!

Each year, a distinction is granted to a selection of very high quality theses, in order to highlight the doctoral candidates’ research work and their scientific merit. For each doctoral program, nominated graduates are selected on the basis of their oral examination. Then the program committee evaluates the nominees and rewards the best 8%.

This year’s winners of the EPFL Microsystems & Microelectronics Doctoral Program Thesis Distinction are:

Adrian Nievergelt (Prof. G. Fantner)
