The
EPFL Press and the World Knowledge Dialogue
As transdisciplinary studies attract
ever more attention from scholars and teachers all around the world,
the EPFL Press is pleased to announce its collaboration with the World
Knowledge Dialogue Foundation.
A first volume based on the discussions of the WKD Foundation is under
way, with plans to pursue the publication program this fall at its
second Symposium. The first book spans topics from natural
complexity to neuroscience, from education theory to climate change,
from immunology to archaeology, as a goup of renowned
multidisciplinarians engage each other, through a series of original
essays, in a climate of constructive criticism and with the amibition
to build a new foundation for the transdisciplinary approach.
 | |  | |  | | With a novel, less classical approach to the subject, the authors have written a book with the conviction that signal processing should be taught to be fun. | The book aims to rethink sociological perspectives on urban phenomena through a dynamic exploration of the links beetween infrastructural and technological aspects of urban order, power relations and everyday life experiences. | The book begins with a “theoretical emergency kit” that provides the foundation necessary to understand the math and science behind the SAR technology. |
The
study electrochemistry is pertinent
to a wide variety of fields,
including bioenergetics, environmental sciences, and engineering
sciences. Intended both as a basic course for undergraduate students
and as a reference work for graduates and researchers, this book covers
two fundamental aspects of electrochemistry: electrochemistry in
solution and interfacial electrochemistry.

Hubert H. Girault
Professor Hubert H. Girault, a
graduate of the ENSEE Grenoble (France),
obtained his doctorate in Electrochemistry at the University of
Southampton (England). He has taught physical and analytical
electrochemistry since 1985, first as a lecturer at the University of
Edinburgh (Scotland), and then, from 1992 on, as professor of chemistry
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), where
he is presently the Director of the Section of Chemistry and Chemical
Engineering. He is the author of over 200 research papers, review
articles and patents, and was co-editor of the Journal of
Electroanalytical Chemistry from 1996 to 2002. His research activities
have covered different aspects of electrochemistry such as charge
transfer at liquid/liquid interfaces, or the design and fabrication of
sensors and microsystems for environmental analysis and clinical
diagnostics.
