Where are they now? Celebrating 20 years of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences

In 2023, the EPFL School of Computer and Communication Sciences celebrated its 20th anniversary. To mark the occasion, a mini series of videos were made to catch up on the careers of IC alumni and alumnae.

Where are they now? is an EPFL video series from the School of Life Sciences and the School of Computer and Communication Sciences showcasing global alumni achievements. 

From New York to Atlanta and Zurich to Morges, EPFL’s thousands of Bachelor, Master, and PhD students over the years have gone on to make significant contributions in both academia and the private sector.

In computer and communication sciences, a field that has driven this century’s technology revolution and changed the way we live, follow the journey of graduates who have chosen to stay in academia at some of the best universities in the world, and discover what EPFL alumni are doing at Google X – The Moonshot Factory and IBM, among others.

“The success of our alumni globally reflects that from the next revolution in quantum computing, to new paradigms in security, or fascinating problems at the interface with Life Sciences, our School is at the forefront of leading research that will change our world. We are proud of the impact and influence that so many of our students go on to have,” says Professor Rüdiger Urbanke, Dean of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences.
