The Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology has announced the appointment of professors at ISIC- EPFL.New appointment in ISIC© 2026 EPFLProfessor Angela Wittmann, currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry in the School of Basic Sciences (SB) Angela Wittmann has received several awards for her research in spintronics, which takes conducted at the intersection of solid-state physics, materials science, and chemistry within the emerging field of chiraltronics. In the context of hybrid molecule-metal interfaces, she studies how molecular chirality influences electron spin and magnetic properties, with applications in spintronics and quantum technologies. Angela Wittmann is a highly creative who has already achieved remarkable results. Through this appointment, EPFL further strengthen its leading position in the field of physical chemistry.Promotion in ISIC© 2026 EPFLProfessor Raffaella Buonsanti, currently Associate Professor at EPFL, as Full Professor of Chemical Engineering in the School of Basic Sciences (SB) (EPFL Valais Wallis) Raffaella Buonsanti is recognised internationally as a leading expert at the interface of nanochemistry, materials chemistry, and electrocatalysis. Her research focuses on the controlled synthesis of nanocrystals of non-precious metals, as well as on understanding and stabilising dynamic catalyst surfaces under electrochemical conditions. She is making a decisive contribution to the development of innovative nanomaterials addressing major societal challenges related to energy and sustainability. Raffaella Buonsanti has been awarded both an ERC Starting Grant and an ERC Consolidator Grant. She also plays a central role in student education through her leadership as Director of the Section of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and through her outstanding teaching at EPFL.
