The Institute of Micro- and Nanotechnologies (IMN) MacroNano®

       

The Institute of Micro- and Nanotechnologies stands for interdisciplinary and cross-faculty top-level research in the field of micro- and nanotechnologies. Founded in 2006, the institute today consists of 40 departments of the TU Ilmenau and thus combines and bundles the competences of natural sciences, strongly technology-oriented fields of microsystems engineering and nanotechnology as well as very application-oriented engineering disciplines.

The aim of the institute is

  • to intensify interdisciplinary research in the field of micro- and nanotechnologies from the basics to application
  • to increase the transfer of knowledge through research projects together with scientific partners and partner companies and
  • to continuously develop the research competence in-house and with the scientific partners
 

The Center of Micro- and Nanotechnologies is available to the member departments to implement the goals pursued by the Institute. With more than 300 systems and devices on almost 2,000m2 of laboratory space in two high-tech buildings (Feynmanbau and Meitnerbau), the ZMN is the infrastructural centre of the institute.

Electrical engineering and information technology prize awarded for outstanding theses

The prize for outstanding theses was awarded by the Förderverein Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik e. V. Ilmenau was presented for the third time.

For the third time now, the chairman of the Förderverein Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik e. V. Ilmenau, Prof Seitz, in conjunction with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the TU Ilmenau, presented the sponsorship award for outstanding theses. The prize, endowed with €250, recognises the students' achievements and presents innovative topics. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, no prizes could be awarded in the years 2020 to 2022, which is why six people who have completed their studies could be honoured this year. The award winners were honoured at the graduation ceremony in November 2023. They are:

  • Mr Kai-Lutz Gerstner, graduate of the Master's degree programme in Electrochemistry and Electroplating Technology
  • Ms Amelie Johanna Hintermaier, graduate of the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology degree programme
  • Mr Markus Ismer, graduate of the Master's degree programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
  • Mr Manuel Peter Kusebauch, graduate of the Master's degree programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
  • Ms Helene Nahrstedt, graduate of the Master's degree programme in Materials Science and
  • Mr Michael Reibe, graduate of the Micro- and Nanotechnologies Master's degree programme
