ETH Zurich @ Rüschlikon the people and their research Prof. Dr. Dimos Poulikakos, Laboratory of Thermodynamics in Emerging Technologies and Coordinator of the Nanotechnology Center, ETH Zurich The Vision behind the Nanotechnology Center The partnership between IBM Research - Zurich and ETH Zurich: will host collaborative research projects between IBM and the ETH Zurich will be open for collaborations with other ETH Domain institutions, particularly EMPA welcomes collaborations with the Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen) welcomes collaborations with other private companies, especially SMEs 2 1
The First Steps: Mirror Teams identified fields for joint research MEMS / NEMS (Hierold, Despont, Dellmann) Nanowires for (Ensslin,Stemmer, Wallraff, Riess, Wolf) Sensors Electronics Photonics Carbon-based devices (Hierold, Ensslin, Riess) Nano-Photonics (Faist, Sandoghdar, Offrein) Packaging for Electronics (Poulikakos, Michel, Brunschwiler, Despont) Thermal management 3D integration and Cooling Phononics etc NW + dielectric Al gate 1 m 3 Rüschlikon as a permanent location for ETH research A combination of permanent and project-based users Project-based users: Space for researchers for the duration of a project. No permanent space. Permanent users: A professorship with the majority or all of its research activities, laboratories and personnel physically in Rüschlikon. The following three professors will be working at the new nanotechnology center; a fourth professorship is under search Prof. A. Stemmer Prof. V.Wood Prof. H.G.Park 4 2
