Souder sur une grande scène
Ceux qui grimpent sur ce podium font partie des meilleurs talents professionnels du monde. Melvin Deubelbeiss, électronicien au PSI, a remporté la médaille d’argent aux WorldSkills 2024.
Le seigneur des fluides
Lorsqu’il était étudiant, Athanasios Mokos se passionnait déjà pour la dynamique des fluides. Aujourd’hui, il modélise des processus complexes à l’Institut Paul Scherrer PSI, comme la formation de dépôts sur des crayons combustibles dans les réacteurs nucléaires.
