๐Ÿš€ Surviving on Mars ๐Ÿš€

Join Prof. Gisela Detrell, Professor of Human Spaceflight Technology at Technical University of Munich, for this EPFL Space Center Seminar:

๐Ÿ“… Wednesday, 25 February 2026
๐Ÿ•’ 17:00 to 18:00
๐Ÿ“ Hybrid: EPFL Campus (Room CM 010) or online via Zoom

Prof. Detrell's research focuses on life support systems for deep space, especially using microalgae photobioreactors to sustain astronauts on long missions to the Moon or Mars. Could future crews grow their own food? Algae might be on the menu.

Prof. Detrell studied Aerospace Engineering at UPC and earned her PhD in Life Support Systems at Stuttgart and UPC. She led research at the Institute of Space Systems in Stuttgart before joining TUM in 2023.

Today, we welcomed French highschool students to the EPFL campus to talk to them about space.

Emmanuelle David presented the activities of the EPFL Space Centre and the challenges associated with the space sector. 

The group also had the opportunity to visit the plasma centre and the tokamak.

We were delighted to host this visit and wish these young students every success in their future careers!
