Fields of expertise
Micro/Nanomanufacturing
Biography
Research in my laboratory focuses on various aspects of MEMS and Nanotechnology. My 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 our research, key competences are in micro/nanofabrication, additive micro-manufacturing, new materials for MEMS, increasingly for biomedical applications. Together with my students and colleagues we published over 200 peer-refereed papers and I had the pleasure to supervise over 20 PhD students. Former students and postdocs have been successful in receiving awards and starting their own scientific careers (6 professors so far). I am honoured for the appointment in 2016 as Fellow of the IEEE “For contributions to micro and nano manufacturing technology”. In 2017 my lab was awarded an ERC AdvG in the field of advanced micro-manufacturing.
