In­tel­li­gent electro-​optical sens­ing

Lever­ag­ing on the mul­ti­ple and com­plex in­ter­ac­tions be­tween nano­ma­te­ri­als and bi­o­log­i­cal sys­tems, the re­search focus of the Joint Lab is the de­vel­op­ment of in­tel­li­gent electro-​optical sens­ing plat­forms. Within the Joint Lab part­ners will focus on:

1. Basic re­search on the de­vel­op­ment and en­gi­neer­ing of group-​IV semi­con­duc­tor SiGeSn ma­te­ri­als and graphene to­wards the re­al­iza­tion of sil­i­con based de­vices op­er­at­ing in the NIR-​FIR ranges, as well as to­wards the re­al­iza­tion of in­no­v­a­tive mi­cro­elec­tronic de­vices such as quan­tum bits and spin­tronic de­vices.
    
2. The de­vel­op­ment of in­no­v­a­tive de­vices en­abling new func­tion to the "in sil­i­con" tech­no­log­i­cal plat­form, such as bio­mol­e­cule sens­ing, tis­sue en­gi­neer­ing, re­gen­er­a­tive med­i­cine, drug de­liv­ery, di­ag­nos­tic pro­ce­dures.
