EPFL alumnus Alessandro De Simone is now Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics & Evolution at the University of Geneva where he studies the physical principles underlying the coordination of regeneration in vertebrates.
Celebrating 20 years of the School of Life Sciences and the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, we talk to alumni about their career paths, memories of EPFL, and ask their advice to current students in a video series called “Where are they now?”.
Today we meet Alessandro De Simone. Coming from a background in theoretical physics, he did his PhD at EPFL in molecular life sciences where he enjoyed the excitement of discovery, opportunity to learn every day, connect with students and the mission of leadership.
