Ass.-Prof.

I moved to a Ass.-Prof. position at the Institute of Sensor and Actuator Systems after my successful habilitation.

22 / 10 / 2021.

Habilitation

I successfully finished my habilitation with the title „Piezoelectric Silicon Microsystems„.

01 / 03 / 2020.

Tenure Track

I now hold a tenure track position at the Institute of Sensor and Actuator Systems.

03 / 03 / 2014.

PostDoc

I started my PostDoc position at the Institute of Sensor and Actuator Systems with the goal of habilitation. My research efforts focus on novel piezoelectric MEMS devices and advanced materials for MEMS.

02 / 02 / 2014.

Promotion

I finished my PhD thesis titled „Impact of film thickness and substrate pre-conditioning on the electromechanical properties of sputtered aluminium nitride thin films“.

02 / 08 / 2009.

Doctorate in electrical engineering

I started my doctorate at the Institute of Sensor and Actuator Systems in the Microsystems Technology group at TU Wien. The next four years, I focused on setting up the sputter deposition system for piezoelectric alumninum nitride (AlN) thin films, understanding the impact of deposition conditions on AlN properties and integrating AlN as piezoelectric transducers into MEMS devices.
