Overview Research Topics
Modern manufacturing requires innovative solutions to meet increasing demands. To this end, we develop and integrate microtechnological components that are specifically tailored to the respective application. Our expertise ranges from process development to quality assurance. One focus area is the manufacture of thin-film sensors for the precise measurement of variables such as strain and temperature. We also conduct research into microsystems for biomedical applications and investigate friction, wear and lubrication conditions at the micro- and nanomechanical level in microtribology. To ensure optimum electrical and mechanical contact, we develop customised assembly and connection technologies as part of system integration. Another focus is the use of artificial intelligence. We develop algorithms that recognise patterns in sensor data, for example, in order to create a comprehensive understanding of processes and open up new possibilities for control and optimisation.
