Teaching We are in charge of the following courses at EPFL:Electroacoustics (FR)This lecture will give the EE students strong ground knowledge on the acoustical engineering through a formalism that they already know, namely electrotechnics. The main learning outcome of the lecture is the understanding and the design of acoustic systems such as acoustic filters.Electromagnetics I : Transmission lines and waves (FR)The electric signal is the essential vehicle for transmitting information and energy. At high frequency, it shows itself as an electromagnetic wave whose study calls for the development of physical and mathematical models based on the wave equation. Electromagnetics II : field computation (FR)This course deals with electromagnetism in free space and in continuous media. Starting from the basic principles, we establish the methods for solving Maxwell’s equation in vacuum and in more complex material media.Lab in acoustics (EN)Apply the knowledge acquired in Audio lectures (room acoustics, acoustic material characterization, loudspeaker measurements, etc.), and provide additional useful illustrations (full wave simulations on COMSOL Multiphysics to better understand some physical phenomena).Antennas (EN)The students will first learn the fundamental principles governing antennas and get familiar with the main antenna types. In the second part, students will work in groups on an antenna design project. Through this, they will learn to use common simulation tools, and perform antenna measurementsAudio engineering (EN)This lecture is oriented towards the study of audio engineering, room acoustics, sound propagation, and sound radiation from sources and acoustic antennas. The learning outcomes will be the techniques for microphones and loudspeaker design, as well as room acoustics.Lab in information technologies (FR)Get familiar with experimental aspects of the main domains of the orientation “Information and communication technologies”Introduction to wave scattering (EN)This advanced theoretical course introduces students to basic concepts in wave scattering theory, with a focus on scattering matrix theory and its applications, in particular in photonics.
