Centre of Microtechnical Manufacturing
The Centre of Microtechnical Manufacturing (German abbrev. ZmP) is a central scientific institution of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the TU Dresden.
ZmP is acting in the field of processes and procedures of manufacturing electronic and microtechnical devices closely together with the Institute of Electronic Packaging Technology of the university. In addition, the ZmP is one of the know-how transfer centres of the Network of Competence Microtechnical Manufacturing.
Director of the ZmP: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Thomas Zerna
Assistant Director: PD Dr.-Ing. habil. Martin Oppermann
Second Direcotor of the ZmP: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. Karlheinz Bock
Werner-Hartmann-Zentrum for technologies of electronics
The "Werner-Hartmann-Zentrum" (WHZ) for technologies of electronics is a scientific facility of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the TU Dresden. It is a platform where technologically oriented chairs bring in their equipment and based on this
- enhance the availability of single processes and complete technological paths for internal as well as external use in projects and for scientific services.
- acquire new research and cooperation partners by the comprehensive presentation of technological options.
- use synergy effects in operating the technological equipment.
- standardize processes and cost structures in providing services.
- ensure the durable operativeness of the equipment.
- coordinate strategical decisions about supplementing the equipment pool.
- offer external interested parties a common interface for using the equipment.
Head of the WHZ: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Thomas Zerna
Deputy head of the WHZ: PD Dr.-Ing. habil. Martin Oppermann
Biomedical Computational Laser Systems (BIOLAS)
The competence centre BIOLAS offers tailored engineering solutions for laser based applications in life sciences. The centre aims to systematically investigate new methodological approaches from an engineering perspective using new algorithms from information systems technology and new electro-optical components from physics, to develop technologies and to achieve their transfer into applications.
Digital laser systems for biomedicine require know-how from electrical engineering and information technology, such as FPGA-based measurement and control techniques for adaptive optics. Machine learning will enable smart, interactive microscopes. The planned competence centre is intended to build a bridge between basic research in engineering science on the one hand and the use by users such as biologists and physicians on the other, so that these users can benefit from developments in electrical engineering and information technology at an early stage (interface research). The competence centre BIOLAS will extend the portfolio of biomedical engineering at the research location Dresden by tailor-made engineering solutions from electrical engineering and information technology in an internationally visible way.
