Promotions of Profs M. Wyart, G. Carleo and Ch. Theiler
Profs Matthieu Wyart, Giuseppe Carleo and Christian Theiler
At its meeting of 6-7 March 2024, the ETH Board has promoted Prof. Matthieu Wyart to Full Professor of Theoretical Physics and Profs Giuseppe Carleo and Christian Theiler as Associate Professors of Physics at the School of Basic Sciences.
Professor Matthieu Wyart, currently Associate Professor, has been promoted to Full Professor of Theoretical Physics starting from the 1st of April 2024.
Matthieu Wyart’s research is concerned with disordered solids in the broadest sense, ranging from amorphous solids such as glass through to the theory of physics-informed machine learning. He is regarded as a very creative physicist and an influential theoretician in the field of soft matter and statistical physics, and is one of the leading researchers of his generation. His work has been awarded numerous prestigious prizes. Matthieu Wyart is also highly esteemed for his contribution to teaching and his ability to supervise large numbers of students working towards Master's degrees.

Prof. Giuseppe Carleo, currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor at EPFL, has been promoted to Associate Professor of Physics starting from the 1st of April 2024.
Giuseppe Carleo works in the field of quantum many-particle physics, using neural networks to gain a better understanding of quantum systems. He has a particular interest in the development of new computer-aided approaches for investigating the many-body problem in quantum physics. He is acknowledged as a leading researcher in this field and his work has already had a major impact in a number of different areas, such as quantum chemistry, condensed matter physics, nuclear astrophysics and quantum computing. In 2022 he was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for his research.

Prof. Christian Theiler, currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor, has been promoted to Associate Professor of Physics starting from the 1st of April 2024.
Christian Theiler works in the field of plasma physics, with a particular focus on investigating nuclear fusion and the behaviour of ultra-hot plasma. At EPFL he has already led several important experiments using the variable configuration tokamak (TCV) nuclear fusion reactor. He has also coordinated a number of international collaborative projects on the simulation of turbulent flows. Christian Theiler is a leading researcher in his field, and is also highly esteemed for his commitment to EPFL and for the quality of his teaching.
