The EPFL Center for Imaging highlights the careers of fifteen scientists who have contributed or are contributing significantly to imaging science, but whose contributions sometimes go unnoticed by a large part of the scientific community and/or society.
The exhibit is divided into three parts:
- The portraits of three women researchers who have had a major impact on the history of imaging;
- The portraits of six EPFL women professors;
- The portraits of six scientists currently active worldwide.
We present a non-exhaustive list of the major contributions made by these pioneering and inspiring women, but their impact goes far beyond that!
We therefore encourage you to take a closer look at the profiles of those who have caught your curiosity!
We also hope that this exhibition will inspire you, whoever you are, to pursue your passion for science, and to recognize the importance of diversity and equity in scientific fields.
