Jeremy is a young professor who recently returned to EPFL as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor and head of the Laboratory for Sustainable and Catalytic Processing. He graduated from EPFL and MIT in 2007 and pursued his doctoral studies at Cornell University, where he worked on biomass pretreatment in high-pressure CO2-water environments combined with fluorescence imaging. He then moved to University of Wisconsin-Madison as a postdoctoral scholar.

Daniel got his Mechanical Engineering degree from EPFL in 1972 and his PhD also from EPFL. He then spent 12 years in industrial research laboratories in Canada and Switzerland. From 1988 to 2013, he was full professor and director of the Industrial Energy Systems Laboratory (LENI) at EPFL. During that period he was successively director of the Institute of Energy and director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. From August 2013 he works at EPFL Energy Center first as director ad interim and now as director technologies.

Suren studied philosophy and biology at the University of Geneva and earned his PhD in Environmental Sciences from the University of Technology at Troyes.
 After working for several years as a science and business journalist, Suren founded several companies (Sofies, ICAST, EIC, ROI). Suren is also a professor and head of the industrial ecology group at the University of Lausanne (IDYST).

Jerry has been involved in critical fluid technology for over 50 years, particularly in the application of SFE, SFC, and related pressurized fluid technologies as applied to foodstuffs, lipid substrates, natural products, and renewable biomass. This has included reaction chemistry, the use of critical fluids in analytical chemistry, and materials modifications. He has published over 250 papers primarily in this area and various other aspects of separation science. Formerly he has worked in industry, at the USDA-ARS center in Peoria, IL, Los Alamos National Lab, and is an Emeritus/Adjunct Professor at the University of Arkansas.

François holds a process engineering degree (1986) and a PhD from University of Liège in Belgium. In 2001, he moved to Swiss Institute of Technology (EPFL) and has been nominated in 2013 Adjunct Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Institute of EPFL where he is heading the Industrial Process and Energy Systems Engineering group (IPESE). François is conducting research in the field of the analysis and the design of sustainable energy systems. His activities are focusing on the development of computer aided methods applying process integration and optimization techniques. He has produced more than 150 scientific papers in the field of energy efficiency in the industry, industrial ecology and sustainable energy systems in urban areas.
