Board of Directors

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Andreas Leson

Professor Leson conducts research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS) in Dresden. His focus is on the production and application of thin films for a broad spectrum of applications ranging from microelectronics to tribological issues. Professor Leson previously worked in industry as well as a technology consultant at the Association of German Engineers (VDI). Professor Leson is active on the board of the Society for Materials Engineering (VDI) as well as the European Research Society for Thin Films. He also holds an honorary professorship at the TU Dresden.

Dr. Thomas R. Dietrich

Dr. Thomas Dietrich already worked in the field of micro and nanotechnology during his doctorate at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt. After five years of research at the Institute of Microtechnology in Mainz IMM, Dr. Dietrich founded a company with a focus on micro process engineering. For this focus he was also a Focus Group leader at DECHEMA, AIChE and the corresponding DIN working committee, gave lectures at the University of Kaiserslautern and edited a book. Since 2014 Dr. Dietrich is the Managing Director of IVAM, The Microtechnology Network, and since December 2021 member of the executive board of Nano in Germany.

Dr.-Ing. Peter Grambow

Dr Peter Grambow studied electrical engineering in Darmstadt, specialising in high-frequency engineering and telecommunications. Peter Grambow completed his doctoral thesis "Technology and Analysis of Nanostructured Semiconductor Systems" at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. This was followed by industrial positions at Siemens, Infineon, 3D Connexion, Logitech and Infineon Austria. Most recently, Dr Grambow was responsible for product development in the Sense & Control division at Infineon. Since 2009 he has worked as a project manager, coach and lecturer. Since April 2010, Dr Grambow is Head of Operations of the Nanotechnology Cluster.

Prof. Dr. Franz Faupel

Professor Faupel holds the Chair for Multicomponent Materials at Kiel University and is Chairman of the North German Initiative Nanotechnology NINa SH e.V. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the IBM Research Center Yorktown Heights and got his habilitation in 1992 at the University of Göttingen. His research interests include functional nanocomposites, magnetoelectric sensors, photocatalysis, plasma deposition, and memristive devices for bioinspired neuromorphic computing.
