Dr. Diane Ansermet completed her Bachelor's and Master's degrees at EPFL in Switzerland, where she studied Materials Sciences and Engineering. The equal contributions of physics, chemistry, and engineering were a great foundation for this young woman with an unquenchable thirst for learning. Her passion for physics started with the discovery of quantum mechanics, where invisible phenomena govern modern technologies. This new passion was coupled with her love for travelling and an increasing interest in Asian cultures and geography, and she moved to Nanyang Technological University in Singapore to complete her Master's thesis in the field of semiconductor nanowires. It was here that she was introduced to the wonderful world of low-dimensional superconductivity, and her journey became filled with novel discoveries and great collaborations.
