The ETH Board has awarded the title of "Professor" to Dr Michele Magno, Head of the Center for Project-Based Learning (PBL), and Dr Yaroslav Romanyuk, Head of the Laboratory for Thin Films and Photovoltaics at Empa.

Michele Magno from the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering and his team have won the 2026 KITE Award. The award recognises the newly redesigned compulsory course ‘Embedded Systems’, which implements project-based learning on a large scale for the first time.

A project that started as a Master’s thesis at the D-ITET Center for Project-Based Learning (PBL) has successfully evolved into a real-world innovation. Victor Luder, after completing his thesis within PBL, continued as a Research Assistant and further developed his work into Cyclowatt, a product now gaining international visibility.

Michele Magno, Head of the D-ITET Center for Project-Based Learning, and Luigi Capogrosso, postdoc at IT:U (Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria), received the "Best Paper presented by a Young Researcher Award" at the 2026 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Automotive (MetroAutomotive 2026), held at the University of Brescia, Italy.

Nika Mansouri Ghiasi, a doctoral graduate in the SAFARI Research Group led by Professor Onur Mutlu, has been added to the ISCA Hall of Fame at the 53rd International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) in Raleigh, USA.
