MEMS in Medical Applications
MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) or more general microsystems are well known and used for automotive and consumer applications. Even though promising, the use of MEMS in medical (“micromedicine”) applications is still challenging.
In this seminar, research results of Furtwangen University, Germany in the field of MEMS/microsystems for medical applications will be presented. Especially, implants and personalized therapy using miniaturized sensors and actuators might benefit from MEMS technology. However, biocompatibility and biostability are still challenges to be addressed. The presentation will give an overview and some examples of ongoing research projects about microsystems for medical applications.

Biography:
Prof. Ulrich Mescheder was born on March 16, 1957 in Stukenbrock, Germany. He received his Dipl. Phys., Ph.D. (Dr. rer nat) in 1982 after study at University Bielefeld and Marburg (focus on solid state physics). He has been a professor at Hochschule Furtwangen – University Department Computer and Electrical Engineering and Institute for Applied Research, Furtwangen. His research activities includes Microtechnology/Micromachining, Microsystems (MEMS), Nanotechnology. He is a member of German Physical society, Verband deutscher Hochschullehrer and IEEE. He is currently the Executive Vice-president for Research Director Institute for Applied Research, Director Competence Center for Microfabrication and Systemintegration, Baden Württemberg (ZeMiS) Vice-director Graduation school GenMik (University Freiburg) he has worked on „Optoelectrical Measurements of amorphous Silicon“. From1985-1991 he was with with the Philips Research Laboratory, Hamburg, Department Material Science, Thin film technology. He was a Visiting scientist at the Institute for Microstructuring Technology (IMT) in Berlin, working on technological developments for x-ray-lithography (mask technology and characterisation techniques).
