Transformational partnerships, such as the NXT GEN MED program between the university, Mayo Clinic and Google, led to reimagined research and student opportunities. Charles Marcus has spent his career investigating quantum coherent phenomena in mesoscopic electronics. Early work, following a PhD on the unrelated topic of neural networks, focused on ballistic conductance fluctuation and quantum chaos.
this system, the shape of the structure, rather than disorder, is responsible for the chaotic trajectories of electrons and can be controlled by confinement. The role of decoherence-how classical emerges from quantum in chaotic system-was emphasized. In the following decade, Marcus’s focused on spin physics in open mesoscopic structures and few-electron quantum dots.
These small spin systems realized spin qubits, following the theory of Loss and DiVincenzo. In spin qubits, a principle source of decoherence is coupling of individual electron spins to ensembles of nuclear spins in the host material. Around this time, Marcus became connected to Microsoft research, and investigated possible non-Abelian excitations in the fractional quantum Hall effect.
Upon moving to NBI in Copenhagen in 2012, Marcus continued investigating emergent non-abelian modes in the solid state, focusing on superconductor-semiconductor systems, including nanowires, 2D semiconductor heterostructures, and recently selective area grown hybrid materials. Through the marketing and development of ground-breaking technologies, Jeff Martin has spent his career applying innovation to multimedia product design.
Martin continues to build new mobile commerce channels by changing the way consumers engage with entertainment, business, and social impact. Martin spent eight years as an executive at Apple – and was the global head of new media, entertainment, and design markets and a direct report to Steve Jobs.
He was instrumental in the multimedia marketing strategy, design, and launch of numerous digital music and video products, Power Mac, iMac and Mac OS X, as well as Apple’s growth in China. In the early 2000s when at Beatnik Inc. , Martin helped pioneer mobile multichannel audio software enabling phones to play music, and in 2005, helped market the first iTunes phone, the Motorola Rokr, two years before the iPhone.
He championed the use of the NFC chip that led to the first mobile wallet technology to create unique and personal interactions between artists/fans and brands/consumers including mobile ticketing and interactive audio at concerts. Martin founded Tribal Brands in 2001 and Tribal Technologies in 2008.
Both companies played a pivotal role in the evolution of the mCommerce industry, using behavior economics, mobile analytics, and content personalization to drive consumer trust and transactions. In 2014, Martin founded Tribal Planet, a Silicon Valley-based technology company that provides innovative, mobile consumer engagement platforms.
The gamified content experiences, powered by a best-in-class content provider ecosystem, develop skills critical to the future of work such as STEM, SEL, and Financial Literacy, and social impact activities around the U. N. 17 SDGs.
The proof of impact analytics engine enables corporate brands to build trust with younger generations and develop their talent pipeline. Martin was appointed by the United States National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to join the flagship roundtable for Sustainability and Climate Change and sits on the Smithsonian’s national advisory board for science and education (SSEC).
Martin was also appointed by the UN Under-Secretary-General to the UNFPA Global Advisory Board for Innovation and was the first co-chair of the Albert Einstein Foundation. Joël Mesot has been President of ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) since 2019. He grew up in Geneva, then studied physics at ETH Zurich, where he obtained his doctorate in 1992 with a thesis on high-temperature superconductors.
After a research stay at the Institut Laue-Langevin (France), he continued his scientific career at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and Argonne National Laboratory (USA) where he worked on various quantum materials and familiarized himself with the method of Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES). In 2004, he became head of the neutron scattering laboratory at PSI.
In 2008, he was promoted to Director of the PSI – the largest public research institute in Switzerland – and appointed full Professor of Physics at ETH Zurich. For his scientific work Mesot received in 1995 the IBM Prize from the Swiss Physical Society and in 2002 the Latsis Prize for ETH Zurich.
He is a member of national and international advisory boards, including the Board of Trustees of the Swiss Innovation Park and the Governing Board of CREATE (Singapore). In his current role, he assumes overall political and legal responsibility for ETH Zurich, a leading university with 520 professors and 25,000 students.
