How ETH has shaped my life ETH Podcast is going on a creative break and will reappear with a new concept next year. Time for host and co-producer Jennifer Khakshouri from Audiobande to look back and revisit two of her first podcast guests: Agnieszka Rozniak and Hanno Kappen. What do the former students do today? How did their time at ETH shape them, what have they learned for life when they look back, and what advice would they give to young ETH students? Please read more about Swissloop and the InCube challenge here. Also, listen to our first two podcast episodes on Swissloop and Incube following this link .…
Folge 10 George Szpiro is an Israeli-Swiss applied mathematician and journalist who made a name for himself as the author of popular mathematical essays and books. George studied mathematics and physics at ETH Zurich, business administration at Stanford University, and received his PhD in mathematical economics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 1984. Along the way, he worked as a management consultant for McKinsey in Zurich, Munich, and London. He became the Israel correspondent for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) in Jerusalem in 1986, and he was reassigned to the US in 2012. After the newspaper deadline, George would continue writing at night on science and maths topics. He has written 7 books to date. His latest book on paradoxes will be published in 2023. As a scientist, his research interests are in financial mathematics, risk theory, genetic algorithms, and their use in predicting regularities in time series. This is his story.

Folge 9 Anette Freytag, a Landscape Historian currently at Rutgers University and formerly with ETH Zurich, explains why landscape architecture is not only a discipline but an attitude and a way of life. Anette Freytag combines art and gardens in her study of Landscape Architecture, Theory, History, and Design, whilst seeking ways to give back to the local community. An example is the March to Rutgers Gardens by the AIR Collaborative, of which we play a clip in the episode. A choreographed 2-mile hike, it was a walking campaign to highlight the need to access green spaces on foot or by bike. When Anette remembers ETH Zurich, she cites as one of her highlights receiving the ETH Medal awarded for outstanding scientific research from Heidi Wunderlich, who was the first female Rector of ETH. This is her story. https://circle.ethz.ch/podcast/…
Listening to glaciers The creaking of the shimmering Morteratsch Glacier, the rumbling of ash-coloured dams, and the steady sloshing of water in grey-blue Zurich reservoirs… In the “Serendipity” seminar series of Chair of Landscape Architecture Christophe Girot, researchers and students leave the seminar room to explore how places sound and how they can be explored by ear. They do this using no more than a microphone and an analogue camera. In this ETH Podcast, research assistant Ludwig Berger talks about adopting the sonic approach to landscape architecture, capturing sounds with students, and recording a selection on records. Ludwig also talks about the new publication entitled “Bodies of Water - A Swiss Landscape Trilogy”, a collection from collective sonic and photographic research spanning the years 2015–2021.

A Data Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) at Caltech in California, Felix’ story begins with his passion for flying. Tune in to find out how his dream career in aviation turned into a scientific one, for which ETH was the place to be. Along the way, Felix explains how to work with satellite data, why he never became an astronaut, and why it’s important to sometimes fail, and learn from it. This is his story.

When expertise meets media Scientists often are either in the lab or at their desks researching, thinking, writing, reading, and analysing discoveries. What happens if their expertise aligns with current affairs in the media, such as the war in Ukraine and nuclear threats? How does their work change when they suddenly have to spend more time in talk shows than in the library? Benno Zogg and Névine Schepers - scientists at the ETH Center for Security Studies- talk about balancing media appearances with their work on Eastern European History and Nuclear Power. They also discuss how they communicate complex content and navigate short answers to big questions. Please find out more about the Center for Security Studies by clicking this link , about Benno Zogg here , and about Névine Schepers here .

Sind Elektroautos wirklich besser als Benzinautos? Immer mehr Elektroautos flitzen durch unsere Strassen. Umweltfreundlicher sind die, klar! Klar? Schliesslich belasten Batterien den Planeten und Strom ist auch nicht immer sauber. Immer wieder ist daher die Aussage zu hören, dass Tesla und Co. nicht besser seien als Autos mit Verbrennungsmotor. Christian Schaffner, Leiter des Energy Science Center, Doktorandin Christine Gschwendtner und Anthony Patt, Professor für Klimaschutz- und Anpassung, finden mit uns heraus, was E-Mobilität fürs Stromnetz und die Umwelt wirklich bedeutet.

Ist die Energiewende zu teuer? Bis 2050 soll die Schweiz klimaneutral werden. Das heisst: Ausbau nachhaltiger Energieversorgung statt fossiler Energieträger und Kernenergie. Das aber erfordert grosse Investitionen. Daher wird immer mal wieder die Frage in den Raum gestellt, ob die Energiewende zu teuer ist. Wir suchen gemeinsam mit Christian Schaffner und Marius Schwarz vom Energy Science Center nach Antworten – auch im Lichte des Krieges in der Ukraine. Im Gespräch: Christian Schaffner (Leiter des Energy Science Center der ETH), Anthony Patt (Professor für Klimaschutz- und Anpassung) und Marius Schwarz (Projektmanager Nexus-e am Energy Science Center der ETH) Noch mehr Infos unter: Vom Preisschock zur fossilen Unabhängigkeit Nexus Nexus publications…
Ist die Schweiz zu klein, um die Krise abzuwenden? “Die Schweiz ist zu klein, um die Energie- und Klimakrise abzuwenden.” Diese Behauptung wird immer wieder als Gegenargument zu klimapolitischen Ambitionen genannt.

Episode 6 It was when Margherita Fontana left ETH Zurich that she realized it had given her a unique value proposition, which was solid baggage to take with her to the corporate world. Our 6th episode is all about ETH alumna and chemist Margherita Fontana of Dow Chemicals. A scientist at heart, she discusses with host Susan how resilience comes from learning how to cope with uncertainty, and how she came to drive change because she didn’t feel included. An advocate for women in STEM, she explains how ETH prepared her for the challenges she would encounter later in her career, by laying the foundations for dealing with complexity, and problem-solving. This is her story.…
