Dr. Future – Medical technology from Dresden ScienceResearchers close up - with Konrad Henkel
What am I working on?
My colleagues and I are working together on the NGScopes (Next Generation Endoscopy) project. We are researching the development of new types of surgical instruments. We are not using conventional electric motors, but actuators based on shape memory alloys. We hope that surgeons will be able to operate even more successfully with our innovative instruments. I am responsible for part of the planning and design in the project.
What can you talk to me about?
We can talk about our project, the demonstrator on display and the work at the Chair of Microsystems Technology. I can tell you about the exciting collaboration between doctors and engineers or explain the shape memory effect.
What is ‘Researchers up close’ about?
The dialogue format: ‘Researchers close up’ gives you the opportunity not only to explore the exhibitions at COSMO, but also to make direct contact with researchers.
You are cordially invited to drop by COSMO during regular opening hours and talk to us. Feel free to ask questions about the exhibits in the current exhibition and share your own ideas and thoughts!
