Berufsfeld Wissenschaft und Technik: Ein erster Einblick nach der Schule

What does everyday work in science look like? An authentic insight between school and university is offered, among other things, by the Voluntary Scientific Year (FWJ). At the institutes of the Leibniz University Hanover, young people complete their FWJ at the Institute for Microproduction Technology (IMPT).  Emma Tubbe is working on the development of innovative grinding wheels with photolithographically inserted cooling channels and supports the ZIM project Polygrind in the planning, implementation and evaluation of experiments for the production and characterisation of the tools. In addition, she actively helped to prepare and conduct the last "Mädchen-und-Technik" Congress. Julia Eisfelder is involved in the preliminary research work on the use of liquid metals for flexible sensors close to the body within a cooperation with the HTI project "SmartCast" by investigating and developing the deposition processes. As part of her FWJ, she will also get involved in the system design and carry out initial evaluations of the sensor technology. Jokubas Kazemekaitis is involved in the Quantum Technology group in projects of the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD, in which a planar platform for integrated optical circuits is to be created. He also supports the IMPT scientists who are microtechnologically producing and analysing optical gratings for the functional extension of atomic chip technology in the Q-Chip project.
