Dr. Ernst-Friedrich Markus Vorrath (born Henke) received his Diploma in mechatronics and his PhD electrical engineering from the Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden) in 2010 and 2014, respectively. During his PhD studies he was woring at the Institute for Solid-State Electronics at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the TU Dresden. His research topics were adaptive composite and smart materials. From 2015 to 2017 he has been working as postdoctoral researcher in the Biomimetics Lab at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute in New Zealand as an MSCA and DAAD Fellow of the European Union. His project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 706754. During that he focussed on soft, biomimetcis robotic systems, multifunctional dielectric elastomers and piezorsistive DE-polymer electronics.
In September 2017 Dr. Henke returned to TU Dresden and joint the Chair for Microsystemes. He is Emmy Nother Junior Research Group Leader of the MEiTNER group and PI of several DFG and SAB funded projects.
