Promotion of an Associate Professor and an Adjunct Professor at IPHYS
Profs J. Penedones and F. Blanc.
At its meeting of 24-25 May 2023, the ETH Board has promoted Professor João Penedones to Associate Professor and Dr Frédéric Blanc as Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Physics (IPHYS).
Professor João Penedones, currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor, has been promoted as Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics in the School of Basic Sciences (SB).
João Penedones works in the field of quantum field theory and quantum gravity. He is an internationally acknowledged expert on the bootstrapping procedure. His excellent teaching is reflected not only in very good evaluations from students, but also in the decisive part he played in setting up an internationally recognised course on high energy physics that attracts scientists from throughout the world. João Penedones currently runs the Fields and Strings Laboratory while also taking a leading role in the new Bernoulli Centre.

Dr Frédéric Blanc, currently Senior Scientist, has been awarded the title of Adjunct Professor in the School of Basic Sciences (SB).
Frédéric Blanc is a particle physicist who has devoted much of his career to developing, improving and analysing data from the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb), one of the four main LHC experiments at CERN and one in which he has played a leading role. He also applies his expertise to other projects in areas such as medical physics.
