Forschungsschwerpunkte
My research focuses on the development and optimization of advanced sensor technology. I work on designing, simulating and developing high-performance sensors with a focus on enhancing sensitivity, reliability, and application-specific functionality. I am particularly interested in innovative approaches to piezoelectric sensing systems, including precision microfabrication techniques such as laser ablation.
Aktuelle Projekte
MEEDGARD: This project targets the realization of a high-fidelity quantum network node based on strain-engineered semiconductor quantum dots. It enables coherent spin-photon interfaces with 100 ms quantum memory through precise strain control, optical microcavities, and RF decoupling. This platform sets a new standard for scalable, solid-state quantum communication hardware.
Thematischer Workshop
Touch, Sense and Create: A Workshop on Sensor Science
Step into the fascinating world where machines can feel, see, and respond - just like us! This interactive workshop introduces students to the science of sensor technology, the invisible magic behind smartphones, smart homes, wearable devices, self-driving cars and so on. Through real-life examples and engaging demonstrations, students will explore different types of sensors from motion and temperature to light and sound. The session also includes a hands-on experience, where students will build their own sensor using simple electronic components. No prior technical knowledge is needed - just curiosity and creativity! By the end of the session, students will understand how the things around them sense and react to the world and how they can build such systems themselves.
Zielgruppe: AHS (SEK II), HAK, HTL (mit entsprechenden Englisch-Kenntnissen)
Dauer: 2-3 UE
