Additional information

Ralph Spolenak has been Professor at ETH Zurich and Chair of the Laboratory for Nanometallurgy since October 1st, 2004 rising through the ranks from assistant to full professor. He currently serves as the Coordinator of FIRST lab (a cleanroom facility of ETH Zurich) and the Chairman of the Board of MaP (Center of Competence for Materials and Processes) at ETH Zurich.

 

The main research interests of Prof. Spolenak's group are the mechanical and functional properties of materials at the nanoscale and how these properties can be influenced by materials design approaches. The combination of testing, characterization and modeling are essential for making significant advances in this field. This comprises the development of new in situ testing methods that allow for analysis at the nanoscale. Recently, also new synthesis routes with regards to additive manufacturing at the nanometer length scale have also become a core focus of the group.
