First place in the Hessian Cooperation awards

On Monday, Sept. 7th the 4 Hessian Cooperation Awards were granted. The first prize was awarded to the team from the University of Kassel, Institute of Nanstructure Science and Analytics, Department technological electronics lead be Prof. Dr. H. Hillmer and the team from Opsolution NanoPhotonics lead by Dr. Wolfgang Köcher for the outstanding collaboration in the development of a nanospectrometer module.

 

The award was based on the quality of the innovation of the product developed and the character of the collaboration. In these aspects the teams from INA and Opsolution NanoPhotonics successfully competed against 30 other teams.

Onny Setyawati is second winner of the "nano+art" contest (April 24th, 2009)

With her image "sea star" Onny Setyawati has become second winner of the nano+art contest. You can find the image in our nanoart gallery. The image shows an "SEM micrograph of underetching process of a nanoimprint-polymer (of ~200nm in thickness) underneath the dielectric material  (DBR mirror) (of ~600nm in thickness).  Residual polymer is shown, and the structure peeled off after the process.  With additional lighting and bubbles, the structure looks like a sea star that rests silently under the sea, that is why this picture is put under the thema ´Ruhe´."

INA is "Landmark in the Land of Ideas" (Dec. 12th, 2008)

With our micro mirror project the INA, technological electronics group has been elected as "Landmark in the Land of Ideas". Therefore we participate on the event series "365 Landmarks in the Land of Ideas 2009", which is performed by the “Germany – Land of Ideas” nation-branding initiative and Deutsche Bank. It is under the patronage of President Horst Köhler.

We were celebrating the award ceremony on February 16th, 2009 with an "open window day". Further information you can find here.

VDI-Award 2008 granted to Matthias Wulf (Dec. 12th, 2008)

The VDI Nordhessen (Association of German Engineers) has again awarded prizes for an outstanding PhD thesis and a diploma thesis this year. The diploma prize was granted to Matthias Wulf for his diploma thesis I entitled “Structuring of Filter Membranes with Photonic Crystals and Zone Plates”.

This work has the character of a feasibility study, in which the possibilities are investigated to etch structures in the nanometer range in the topmost membrane of a Fabry-Perot-filter to be equipped with additional features. First, the corresponding designs were simulated and afterwards, the technological process steps were optimized to minimize any dimensional variation from the design.

The official award ceremony will take place on the University Day on Friday, February 13th 2009 at 5 pm in the central cafeteria at Moritzstraße, main campus.

Onny Setyawati ist laureate of the "nano + art" contest (Apr. 21th, 2008)
