The Technical University in Braunschweig has appointed Dr. habil. Thomas Kämpfe as professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, and Physics. In this role, Dr. Kämpfe will take over the chair for Neuromorphic Computing. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, he heads the business unit "IoT/HPC Components and Systems" in the Center Nanoelectronic Technologies. With his expertise, the trained physicist and electrical engineer brings valuable knowledge, particularly in the research areas of microelectronics and in-memory computing.
Dr. habil. Thomas Kämpfe has a versatile research history. In addition to completing his diploma in applied physics with a focus on materials science and nanotechnology in 2011, he earned his Ph.D. in physics in 2016 at the Technical University of Dresden in the fields of nanoelectronics and ferroelectronics. During this time, he was also a research scholar at the University of Colorado and a lecturer in nanotechnology at TU Dresden. He completed his habilitation in 2022 with a research focus on ferroelectric hafnium oxide for in-memory computing and semiconductor development. For his habilitation thesis, Dr. habil. Thomas Kämpfe received the Dresden Excellence Award and the George E. Smith Award in 2023 for his research on the utilization of 28nm FeFET crossbar arrays on 300mm wafers for in-memory development.
Research application in teaching
Dr. habil. Thomas Kämpfe is a renowned figure in his research field due to his active participation in international conferences and the publication of over 200 articles in prestigious journals. His innovative research findings, for example in the area of brain-inspired computing, as well as his experiences as a lecturer, most recently at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU), will enrich his teaching as a professor in Neuromorphic Computing at the Technical University of Braunschweig. He will contribute his expertise at the CMOS Design Institute to develop energy-efficient AI transistors using state-of-the-art memory technologies such as FeFET, FRAM, RRAM, and MRAM. The Fraunhofer IPMS warmly congratulates Dr. habil. Thomas Kämpfe on his appointment.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
