Additional information

Research area

Professor Isa’s research focuses on understanding the fundamental properties of colloidal particles and fluid interfaces to develop a broad range of new soft and active materials.

Lucio Isa is the ETH Zurich Associate Professor of Soft Materials and Interfaces.

Lucio Isa was born in Milan (Italy) in 1979. He obtained a Masters degree (110/110 cum laude) in Nuclear Engineering from the Polytecnico di Milano (Italy) in 2004 and a PhD in Soft Matter Physics at the University of Edinburgh (UK) in 2008. After a short postdoctoral spell in Edinburgh, he moved to the Materials Department of ETH Zurich at the end of 2008 to work in the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology, first as a Marie-Curie Fellow and then as a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Ambizione Fellow. In 2012 he was awarded a SNSF travel grant as visiting fellow at the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. In September 2013 Lucio Isa became SNSF Assistant Professor, heading the Laboratory for Interfaces, Soft matter and Assembly in the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich. In April 2019, he was promoted to Associate Professor of Soft Materials and Interfaces.

Lucio Isa is a co-founder of Swiss Soft Days, an initiative aimed at creating a national network of scientists working in Soft Matter in Switzerland.

He lives in Zurich with his partner and two children.
