Jürgen Brugger
Biography
Juergen Brugger is Professor of Microengineering and co-affiliated to Materials Science. Before joining EPFL he was at the MESA Research Institute of Nanotechnology at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, and at the Hitachi Central Research Laboratory, in Tokyo, Japan. He received his Master in Physical-Electronics and his PhD degree from Neuchatel University, Switzerland.
Research in Juergen Brugger’s laboratory focuses on various aspects of MEMS and Nanotechnology. The group has made several important contributions to the field, at the fundamental level as well as in technological development, as demonstrated by the start-ups that spun off from the lab. In his research, key competences are in micro/nanofabrication, additive micro-manufacturing, new materials for MEMS, increasingly for biomedical applications. He published over 200 peer-refereed papers and supervised 20 PhD students. Former students and postdocs have been successful in receiving awards and starting their own scientific careers (6 professors so far). Juergen Brugger has been appointed in 2016 Fellow of the IEEE “For contributions to micro and nano manufacturing technology”. In 2017 he was awarded an ERC AdvG in the field of advanced micro-manufacturing.

Introduction to additive manufacturing
On présente l'état de l'art dans le domaine des procédés addifitifs (où la pièce est
fabriquée par ajout de matière sans utilisation d'outil de forme).
Les applications/avantages/limitations des procédés principaux seront discutés ainsi
que certains as... 
Technologie des microstructures I
L'étudiant apprendra les procédés et les applications des technologies de micro- et nanofabrication modernes, tels qu'ils sont pratiqués dans une salle blanche, avec une focalisation sur les technologies à base du silicium.
TP en salle blanche (automne)
En groupes de 4 étudiants et accompagné par un assistant, l'étudiant apprendra en pratique des procédés et manipulations de base de la
salle blanche. Pour chaque groupe, le TP se déroule en 3 séances de 4 heures chacune.
