Research

Niko Munzenrieder is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in Sensor Technology and Head of the Flexible Electronics Laboratory at the University of Sussex. He is a member of the Sensor Technology Research Centre at the Department of Engineering and Design.

Niko received the Dipl. Phys. degree in physics from the Technical University Munich (TUM), Germany, in 2008, where he worked on vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diodes at the Walter Schottky Institute. Afterwards, he joined the Electronics Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), Switzerland, and received the Dr. sc. (PhD) degree in electrical engineering for his PhD thesis entitled: "Flexible oxide semiconductor electronics on plastic substrates" in 2014. At the University of Sussex, he was a Lecturer form 2015 to 2018 and a Senior Lecturer in Sensor Technology from 2018 to 2019. In July 2019, he joined the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.

 

He wants to enable an unobtrusive integration of electronic devices with flexible, soft or stretchable materials and combine electronics with everyday objects. His research focuses on the development, fabrication, and characterization of deformable thin-film devices on plastic substrates, innovative fabrication processes and flexible analog sensor systems.
