What if we could print optical components in three dimensions? 🖨️

Advanced manufacturing is changing the way we design and build photonic systems. Dr. Koen Vanmol from Brussels Photonics explores how two-photon polymerization enables the fabrication of highly sophisticated optical structures with remarkable precision.

His lecture, "From Design to Function: Recent Advances in Optical Interfacing through Two-Photon Polymerization Fabrication", will highlight how innovative fabrication techniques are opening new possibilities for photonic integration and device design.

From expectations to surprises! 👀

A while ago, we asked our students what they were most looking forward to before their Company Visit at Nova. Now, it’s time to look back and find out: What surprised them the most?

After a day filled with insights into high-precision optical metrology, the semiconductor industry and the working environment at Nova, we asked our students what they hadn’t expected.

What stood out? What caught them off guard? And what left a lasting impression?

Recognizing Outstanding Research! 🏆

Looking back at the ETIT Award Ceremony hosted by KSOP, we are happy to highlight Valentin Zecevic, recipient of the SUSS MicroTec SE Masteranden-Preis for his outstanding Master’s thesis.

In his thesis, “Design of Output Combining Networks for Q-band Doherty Power Amplifiers in SiGe Technology”, he explored how high-frequency power amplifiers on microchips can be designed more energy-efficiently, developing new approaches to complex circuit design.

One moment stood out in particular:

“A special moment was measuring a chip I had designed myself for the first time and seeing that it actually worked.”
From theory to a functioning chip – a moment that captures what fascinates him about electrical engineering.

Congratulations on this well-deserved award and all the best for what’s next! 🎓

Turning Waste Heat into Power with Origami Inspired Design 📐

What if low grade waste heat could be transformed into a practical source of electricity using printed materials and clever engineering? ♻️⚡

This research demonstrates a fully printed origami thermoelectric generator that converts waste heat into electrical energy with a record high power density of more than 20 W m⁻². By combining advanced material design with a scalable manufacturing process, the team achieved a significant performance boost while maintaining flexibility and low production costs.

The technology opens exciting opportunities for battery free sensors, wearable electronics, and Internet of Things applications that can harvest energy directly from their environment. 🌍🔋📡

Powering the Future of Solar Energy ☀️

What is the best way to create high quality perovskite layers for next generation solar cells? ⚡

The performance of perovskite solar cells depends strongly on how their materials are deposited and processed. This study benchmarks different inorganic deposition routes for hybrid two step fabrication and investigates how these approaches affect film formation, microstructure, and ultimately device performance.

By providing a systematic materials perspective, the research highlights the strengths and limitations of different processing strategies and offers valuable guidance for the development of efficient and scalable perovskite solar cell technologies. 🌍☀️
