Research Synopsis 

  1. Application and development of various scanning probe microscopy imaging modalities for nanoscale functional characterization of materials. 
  2. Near-field scanning microwave microscopy. We apply and develop near-field scanning microwave microscopy to study local electrical properties of a broad class of material: dielectrics, semiconductors, two-dimensional conductors, including in-situ imaging in fluids.
  3. Physics of nanoscale phase transitions and heat transport
  4. Materials for information storage
  5. Materials for energy storage and conversion 
  6. In-situ Scanning Probe Microscopy of Complex Oxides. In-situ UHV scanning probe microscopy techniques are used to study surfaces of complex oxide thin films grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition / Laser MBE.

Emerging nanoscopy for single entity characterisation (Ensign)

Local CoordinatorEuropean Comission
Understanding structure and behaviour at the nanoscale provides valuable insight and the opportunity for control in application areas like biomedicine, biophysics and biomaterials. Measuring individual nanoscale properties with different instruments is challenging, slow and expensive. Understanding their interactions is even more difficult. Corr...

Additive Manufacturing of 3D Microfluidic MEMS for Lab-on-a-Chip applications - M3DLoC (M3DLoC)

Local CoordinatorEuropean Comission
MEDLOC aims at the employment of multi-material 3D printing technologies for the large-scale fabrication of microfluidic MEMS for lab-on-a-chip and sensing applications. The concept is based on the combination of multimaterial direct-ink-writing method and an extrusion-based 3D printing pilot line, in order to fabricate microstructured detection...
