Prof. René Monnier Born in 1946, René Monnier obtained his Diploma in Physics with honours from the University of Neuchâtel in 1970. He was a Visiting Fellow at Cornell University from January 1971 to July 1972, after which he returned to Neuchâtel, where he defended his thesis in April 1974. From October 1975 to July 1977 he was a postdoctoral fellow at Nordita, in Copenhagen. He joined ETH in October 1977. His field of research is condensed matter theory, and his main interests lie in the study of the electronic structure and properties of random alloys and their surfaces, exotic compounds and strongly correlated systems. He teaches graduate courses on these subjects as well as introductory physics to students in engineering and the life sciences.
