The Chair

From 1997 to October 2018, the chair was leaded by Prof. Dr. Eckhard Beyer. At the same time, he was also director of Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden. The chair is currently being updated, since its denomination will change. Since 2023, Prof. Andrés Lasagni is responsible for the chair (on a provisional basis), and the laser topics have been migrated to the Chair of Laser-based Manufacturing. Prof. Lasagni received his MSc degree in Chemical Engineering from National Comahue University, Argentina (2002) and his PhD degree in Materials Science from Saarland University, Germany (2006).

Research partners

The chair works closely with different institutions around the world and Germany. In Dresden, we are strongly cooperating with the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in research and training. For instance, both TU Dresden and IWS offer together the International Summer School "Trends and new developments in Laser Technology" since 2012.

Chrom-Workshop / 14.-15.05. 2024

DROHENDES CHROM (VI)–VERBOT setzt die INDUSTRIE UNDTER DRUCK: PERSPEKTIVEN mit der DÜNNSCHICHTTECHNOLOGIE Chrom (VI) kommt vielfach zum Einsatz, z.B. für Korrosionsschutz u. optische Schichten. Mit knapp 50 Teilnehmern diskutierte die EFDS über Chancen und Herausforderungen, die sich durch alternative, umweltfreundliche Technologien eröffnen. Viele Fachleute aus Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft sprachen zum Thema „Chrom VI-Perspektiven mit der Dünnschichttechnologie“, nahmen an einer Laborführung teil, konnten sich vernetzen und die aktuelle Ergebnisse und Verfahren kennenlernen. Eine Neuauflage des Workshops im kommenden Jahr ist in Planung.

Dry Coating Forum / September 10 - 11, 2024 / Fraunhofer IWS Dresden

Lithium-sulfur batteries are the most promising choice for future energy storage systems. Lithium metal anodes are decisive components as they determine cycling stability and specific energy, also in solid state batteries. Following the great success of our previous Lithium-Sulfur Battery Workshops, next year’s symposium will again bring together an international audience of scientists and industrial customers. Plenary lectures as well as an exhibition will offer excellent possibilities to get acquainted with the latest developments and research results. A poster session will complement the program.
