Chair Keeper

The LMO chair is managed by Prof. Andrés Lasagni. He is originally from Argentina and since 2008 lives and works in Dresden. Since the same date he is also head of the group “Surface Functionalization” at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS. In 2012, Prof. Lasagni started with his first professorship at the TU Dresden and since 2014 he is keeper of the LMO chair.

Studies

Prof. Lasagni, head of the chair, gives the lecture “Laser precision manufacturing” in the winter semester and also offers an international school on laser processing in summer. The professoship also offers students the possibility to prepare bachelor, diploma and master theses in the chair's research topics.

Research

LMO focuses on the development of technologies for the high speed functionalization of technical surfaces. To achieve this objective, we try to find the relationships between surface morphology with specific surface properties. The complex topographies that are required are produced either by laser based technologies or roll to roll imprinting and hot embossing methods.

The Chair for Laser based Surface Structuring

The chair LMO was created after a challenging selection procedure at the Technische Universität Dresden as one of nine Open Topic Tenure Track (OTTP) chairs, which were established within the German excellence initiative. Our scientific team comprises off senior scientists and Ph.D. students. Furthermore, several students perform their thesis at our chair and also support our scientist as undergraduate assistances.

In winter semester, students are welcomed to the lecture “Laser precision manufacturing”. The research seminar “Production technology” is given during the summer semester. In addition, we offer topics for bachelor, diploma and master theses, which can be conducted either the TU Dresden or the Fraunhofer IWS Dresden. Once a year, students and Ph.D. students meet in Dresden for the International Summer School “Trends and new developments in laser technology” to present and discuss their latest results.

In our research, we address the fast growing topic of surface functionalization. In this context, we focus on understanding the relation between surface morphology and properties. Furthermore, technological surfaces are treated with laser method to produce complex surface topographies and thus creating new functions. The same objective is aimed using roll to roll embossing methods.
