Turning precision engineering into breakthroughs in microfluidics

Yannick Pringalle holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from HEIA-FR (Fribourg) and completed an intensive CREO Parametric training program at Liebherr. He has developed a strong technical skill set in CAD (Autodesk Inventor, Siemens NX, CREO), FEA (Siemens NX) and CFD (Ansys CFX). His professional experience includes roles in quality control and fixture design at Integra LifeSciences, product assembly and quality control at MPS Micro Precision Systems AG, as well as work in electrical maintenance. He also participated in the Shell Eco-Marathon challenge, where he contributed to the design and manufacturing of a windscreen wiper system. As well as manufacturing body panels of the vehicle out of carbon fibre.

During his master, he designed and tested a nano-positioning linear stage in collaboration with MPS Micro Precision Systems AG using flexure elements. He is currently in Denmark conducting his Master’s thesis in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Alexander Kai Büll DTU Bioengineering, further strengthening his expertise through advanced research and hands-on experimental work. The University of Bern’s MSc in Precision Engineering connects students with international research institutions like Technical University of Denmark empowering them to turn passion into impact.

Combining precision engineering with space science

Jamie first trained as a micromechanics through an apprenticeship (CFC) at the Geneva School of Watchmaking, then went on to complete his bachelor’s degree in Microengineering at the University of Applied Sciences Geneva (HEPIA Genève). Alongside his studies, he has continued to develop his passion for ice hockey by remaining active on a competitive team.

“My motivation to start the Master of Precision Engineering at the University of Bern was the “Creative Engineering Lab” which is the perfect facility to use my hands on skills that I learned during my apprenticeship and my knowledge during my bachelor’s degree, to develop my ideas.”

ESA-ESTEC is the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. ESTEC is the technical heart - the incubator of the European space effort - where most ESA projects are born and where they are guided through the various phases of development. https://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESTEC

The University of Bern’s MSc in Precision Engineering connects students with global research institutions like ESA-ESTEC, empowering them to turn passion into impact.

From Bern to Singapore – Turning a dream into reality

Michael will do his Master thesis at the National University of Singapore in NUS Centre for Advanced Robotics (ARC) and Centre for Additive Manufacturing (AM.NUS), in the group of Prof. Yu Jun Tan.
Michaël did his Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Fribourg with focus on plastics and lightweight mechanical structures. In his final semester, he developed an interest in constantly evolving advanced technologies.
His motivation to start the Master of Precision Engineering at the University of Bern was to deep dive in modern manufacturing methods and to learn more about innovative state of the art technologies.

The University of Bern’s MSc in Precision Engineering offers an environment where students can have hands-on experience with modern technologies.

From research to production: Our Lasers and Applications elective visited Lumentum Switzerland AG for an inside look at ultrafast laser development. Swipe for advanced technologies and robotized laser manufacturing.

Lumentum Switzerland AG develops ultrafast lasers with highly stable pulse characteristics and exceptional beam quality, enabling sub-micrometer material processing with minimal thermal impact. Through ultraprecision engineering—tight integration of photonics, mechanics and process control—their systems deliver high repeatability, process stability and reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.

A look at what’s already part of our Creative Engineering Lab:
The SC-1 Series ALD system — combining ALD + PVD for precise, stable multilayer coatings without breaking vacuum.

It’s a tool our students use to explore thin-film structures for optics, wear protection, and biomedical surfaces, all with industry-grade control.

A good reminder of the technology our lab offers every day.

Students of the Master in Precision Engineering had the opportunity to visit Alemnis AG, invited by their lecturer and Vice President of Business Development of Alemnis, Dr. Nicholas Randall.

The industry rounded off the lectures on Nano- and Microfabrication, giving students a unique change to see how theoretical concepts discussed in an academic setting are applied into cutting-edge industrial practice.

Founded as a spin-off from Empa, Alemnis is know for its high-precision instruments that enable material characterizations under extreme conditions with nanometer accuracy. Thank you for sharing your expertise with a new generation of engineers!

Scientific exchange at SBPE

On 18 November we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr Alexander Lunt from the University of Bath, together with Nick Randall from Alemnis AG.

Dr Lunt gave an inspiring presentation on recent advances in micromechanical characterization of carbon-fiber based systems, demonstrating how synchrotron X-ray diffraction, digital volume correlation, and in-situ testing can reveal strain evolution and failure mechanisms in high-performance composites.

Thank you for the visit and the great discussions — we look forward to continuing this exchange!
