EPFL Valais-Profs Buonsanti and Queen promoted to Associate Professor
Prof. R. Buonsanti and Prof. W:L: Queen
At its meeting of 9-10 March 2022, the ETH Board has promoted professors Raffaella Buonsanti and Wendy Lee Queen from EPFL Valais Wallis to Associate Professor at the School of Basic Sciences (SB).
Professor Raffaella Buonsanti, currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor, has been promoted as Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering.
Raffaella Buonsanti conducts research in the field of colloid chemistry. At EPFL she founded the Laboratory of Nanochemistry for Energy and heads a research programme aimed at finding innovative approaches to the controlled synthesis of nanomaterials with novel properties. Her research takes place at the intersection of materials chemistry and catalysis, and pursues a sustainability approach. Raffaella Buonsanti is regarded as an ambitious and forward-thinking researcher. She has already received several awards, including an ERC Starting Grant in 2017.

Professor Wendy Queen, currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor, has been promoted as Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering.
Wendy Queen’s research focuses on the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for environmental applications. She adopts a collaborative approach aimed at helping to solve some of the important problems faced by society. Wendy Queen has shown herself to be an up-and-coming researcher in this fiercely competitive research area, and her research has made a key contribution to a fast-growing field of study. Her work at EPFL has already resulted in six patents. In addition, she is a popular university lecturer who actively strives to communicate her research findings to a wider audience.
