École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland

EPFL is one of two federal technical universities in Switzerland. It has three missions : education, research and technology transfer at the highest international level. EPFL, in its location on the shores of Lake Geneva, brings together a campus of more than 10,000 people with more than 250 laboratories and research groups. With 120 nationalities represented on campus and more than 50% of the professors coming from abroad, the School is one of the world’s most cosmopolitan universities. The EPFL School of Engineering (STI) consists of more than 50 laboratories organized within 5 institutes at the intersection of mechanics, electrical engineering, micro-technology, and materials science. The research projects conducted in the STI often lead to tangible applications in areas as diverse as biomedical sciences ; energy technology ; the treatment and transmission of information ; microelectronics and micro-systems ; novel materials ; robotics and other mechanical systems. A key resource of EPFL is the CMI – a state of the art 100-mm user nanofabrication facility which enables material growth, advanced etching and nanofabrication.

EPFL will be growing high quality 2D materials using CVD and MOCVD, transferring them on QCL and other structures and providing expertise on 2D device manufacturing, optical and electrical characterization.
