What are EPFL's strong fields in Computer Science?
-
EPFL is one of the best schools of engineering in Europe. I know EPFL has Scala's inventor, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Odersky, in its faculty, and Prof. Pascal Fua from Computer Vision Lab is renowned for his research in shape recovery. In terms of Computer Science, what are other strong fields or prestigious faculty in EPFL?

Answer:
If you're looking for prestige even outside their fields, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Vetterli is probably the most famous of the long-time faculty. More recently, the Turing award winner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Sifakis and the VMWare founder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edouard_Bugnion were also hired. In general, most of the faculty is quite strong and known well in their respective fields. EPFL has consistently great output in terms of papers and funding.

"Pierre Dillenbourg" is another renowned & vastly experienced faculty working in the fields of Learning sciences, HCI and CSCL. His lab at EPFL (abbreviated as CHILI) is also closely affiliated with the Center For Digital Education (CEDE) or the MOOC Factory at EPFL. There is a lot of interesting research currently going on to better the second generation of MOOC offerings!! (http://chili.epfl.ch/and and http://moocs.epfl.ch/ )
