Dr Michael Stolz wins prestigious dissertation prize from the Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin
Dr Stolz, who completed his doctorate at BTU's Chair of Micro and Nano Systems under the supervision of Prof. Harald Schenk, is currently working at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS). There, he is working on innovative solutions for the digitalisation of measuring points in remote and sparsely populated regions, such as those frequently found in Lusatia and Brandenburg. His focus is on the development of a universal radio front end, which should significantly increase the range and energy efficiency of commercial sensor nodes. This technology offers potential for a wide range of applications, from monitoring ground and surface water, buildings and infrastructure to digital agriculture and forest fire prevention.
He was honoured with the prestigious award for his outstanding dissertation entitled "Determining and assessing the reliability of lateral electrostatic nanoactuators and their impact on future applications". The work provides important findings for the reliability and application of nanoscale technologies and emphasises the link between basic research and industrial relevance.
The dissertation prize of the Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin, which has been awarded since 2002, recognises excellent research work in the field of Physics by graduates of the five major universities in Berlin and Brandenburg, including BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. The award has been supported by SPECS GmbH since 2015.
