LMIS at IEEE NEMS 2026 in Chengdu

Professor Jürgen Brugger, head of the Microsystems Laboratory (LMIS1), was invited to give a plenary talk at the 21st IEEE International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems (IEEE NEMS 2026), held in Chengdu, China. IEEE NEMS is a key international forum focusing on the frontiers of micro/nano-scale engineering and its molecular-scale integration.

In his speech, "Beyond the Mask: Direct-Write Nanofabrication and Immersive Learning for Next-Generation Microsystems," Prof. Brugger highlighted the laboratory’s cutting-edge research in maskless and hybrid fabrication methods, including inkjet printing, nanostencil lithography, and thermal scanning probe lithography. These advances enable the development of new materials and complex device structures beyond conventional mask-based processes. Additionally, he discussed how immersive tools like Mixed Reality can transform cleanroom education, helping students better grasp the physics behind fabrication—a dual innovation in both microsystems tools and training methodologies.
