Our institute conducts research and develops innovative micro- and nanosystems – from fundamental materials research and functional devices to intelligent and adaptive systems. By combining materials science, micro- and nanofabrication, and system integration, we create the foundation for next-generation technologies in sensing, actuation, and information processing with applications in biomedical technologies (e.g. hearing aids), robotics and autonomous systems, optimization and supervision of industrial processes and human-machine-interfaces. 

Our research bridges materials, electronics, and intelligent data processing to enable novel technological solutions at the micro- and nanoscale.
