Biography: Tatiana Latychevskaia studied physics at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University in Russia and obtained Master degree in 1996, her Master thesis project was in optical holography. For one year, she was employed as a teaching assistant at the Department of Theoretical Physics, teaching undergraduate students classes in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and electrodynamics. In 1997, she joined the group of Prof. Urs Wild in Physical Chemistry Laboratory, ETH Zurich, where she completed her doctoral thesis in 2001. Thesis subject: experimental detection of single molecule fluorescence at low-temperature (1.4 K) and measuring the Stark effect on single molecules. In 2001, Tatiana Latychevskaia joined the group of Prof. Hans-Werner Fink, Physics Department at the University of Zurich, where she was developing low-energy electron (20 - 300 eV) lensless coherent imaging techniques (diffraction and holography) for imaging of single biomolecules and nano-scale objects. In 2017 –2018, she was working in the group of Prof. Carbone, Institute of Physics, EPFL Lausanne. Complete CV.
