Department of Health Sciences and Technology

Doctoral examination.

D-​HEST Doctoral Administration is closed:

01.08.2024 - 31.08.2024 and 23.12.2024 - 12.01.2025 → No doctoral examinations or aptitude colloquia can be held during these periods.  

The doctoral examination has to take place within 6 years after the provisional admission.

Scheduling the examination

The doctoral administration of the department will then arrange your examination, i.e. reserve a room and set up a videoconference, if needed. Please provide us with the following information on the format of your examination:

  • on site (all participants are physically present), hybrid (one or more members of your committee take part online) or remote (everybody is online)
  • Do you prefer a room at ETH Zentrum, ETH Hönggerberg or elsewhere?
  • How many guests do you expect on site approximately?
  • Who is the chair of your examination?

Please note that MMS (Multimedia Services) only provides technical support if a member of your examination committee (or you) will attend online. If only guests are attending online, you will have to set up a videoconference yourself.

  • Communicate your co-examiners at least 3 months before the examination. Information about approval of co-examiners
  • Register for the examination with Academic Services at least 15 working days before the examination. Details on the registration procedure available on the student portal .
  • Submit your thesis at least 15 working days to your examination committee (inclusive chair).
  • Submission of the thesis evaluation reports by the examination committee members at least 5 working days before the examination. Download Information for the committee members (PDF, 111 KB) vertical_align_bottom .

Please note that late registration/information/report submission may lead to re-scheduling of the doctoral examination.

Examination registration

Register for the examination with Academic Services at least 15 working days before your examination date. Early registration (up to 3 months before the examination) is possible.

You will need the following documents:

  • Food Science: Dr. Jeannette Nuessli Guth , Study Programme Coordinator
  • Health Sciences and Technology: Dr. Roland Müller , Study Programme Coordinator
  • The title page of your doctoral thesis. Leave the dissertation number field empty, the number of the thesis will be assigned upon registration. No print version of your thesis has to be provided.

After registration, Academic Services will send you a registration confirmation and inform the doctoral administration of your department.

Invitation and Examination

  • After you have registered, the doctoral administration of the department will issue and distribute the invitation to your examination. They will also ask the supervisor and the co-examiner(s) for reports on your thesis. The signed reports (hardcopy or PDF) must be provided at least 5 working days before the examination. 
  • As a rule, doctoral examinations at D-HEST are open to the public. They are published in the event calendars of the department and ETH Zurich. On request of the supervisor, a doctoral examination can also be non-public.
  • A doctoral examination can take place physically or virtually. A combination of these two forms is also possible (hybrid format). The department can make restrictions to the formats offered, e.g. during a pandemic. In case of a virtual doctoral examination or a hybrid examination where the physical presence of the candidate, committee member(s) and/or chairperson is not possible, the examination takes place by video conferencing, hosted by ETH Multimedia Services (MMS). If a virtual or hybrid examination cannot be carried out properly due to severe technical problems, the chairperson may decide to discontinue the examination.

After the Examination

In case of a successful examination, the D-HEST Department Conference will be asked for approval of the graduation. The doctoral examination must take place at the latest 2 weeks before the date of the conference at which the graduation is planned to be approved. The request for approval of the graduation will only be submitted to the Department Conference when required corrections to the doctoral thesis have been carried out at the latest one week before the Department Conference.

Information on the further steps after the examination is available on the student portal .

Eth medal and willi studer prize 2024.

The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering has awarded 12 Master's students with the ETH Medal and five with the Willi Studer Prize. The awards for their outstanding achievements were presented during the Master's Ceremony 2024.

  • mode_comment Number of comments

Enlarged view: Poster mit den Portraits und Namen aller Gewinnerinnen und Gewinner

The ETH Medal is awarded as distinction for outstanding Master's theses. Prerequisite are a grade of 6 for the thesis, an average final grade of at least 5.25, and a written endorsement from the thesis supervisor. In addition to scientific excellence, aspects such as the innovative character of the thesis, the choice of an independent research approach, or the contribution to the group's research work are also taken into account.

ETH Zurich awards the Willi Studer Prize to the best graduate from each Master's program. If more than one student achieves the top grade in a degree program, several students will receive the Willi Studer Prize.

These are the winners of the graduating class of 2024:

Michelle Deprenger-Levin Ph.D. Thesis Defense

Congratulations michelle deprenger-levin for successfully defending your ph.d. degree thesis, michelle deprenger-levin.

Ph.D. Degree Candidate CU Denver Department of Integrative Biology

When: Friday, March 15th, 2024, 12:00pm Where: Science Building, Room 2001

Using demography to inform plant conservation: an examination of uses and pitfalls of conventional population models.

Demography is used to detect and predict population trends and assess the impact of management actions. Demographic data is lacking for many rare and threatened or potentially invasive species. To assess the risk of extinction or potential of establishment for species lacking demographic data, this work sets expectations for near-term dynamics by population structure, population size, and life history. Empirical data can be tested against these expectations. However, population models often fail to predict future dynamics. One cause of error that is rarely addressed in plant populations is imperfect detection. There are extensive models to address imperfect detection for mobile organisms but little attention on which models are appropriate for plant populations. I developed a guide to apply statistical models and field methods to address plant population dynamics while accounting for imperfect detection. I then apply these models to a long-term demographic study of a perennial herb to quantify the impact of ignoring imperfect detection.

  1. Doctoral Thesis

    In this thesis, I study correlated materials, specifically transition-metal oxides with a perovskite or double-perovskite structure. In the considered materials - CaFeO₃, Ba₂MgReO₆, KCuF₃, and LuNiO₃ - the transition metals have open d shells with strong local electron-electron interactions, which localizes these d electrons and makes the materials prone to symmetry breaking and ...
