Speaker Biography (Wim Christiaens)
Dr. Wim Christiaens is expert in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics development and manufacturing.
He obtained his PhD in electronic engineering from Ghent University (Belgium) in 2009 for his work on the integration of passive and active components inside flexible circuit boards, and has further experience in business development and printed circuit board manufacturing.
He joined Quad Industries in 2014 as R&D director to coordinate strategic innovations with a strong focus on exploring new technologies and applications in the field of (screen)printed electronics.
Company Profile (Quad Industries)
Quad Industries is a leading technology provider specialised in 2 domains, namely user interfacing and printed electronics.
User Interfacing:
Quad Industries supplies a broad range of touch and switch solutions, such as, capacitive touch keys, piezo touch, membrane switches, PCAP solutions, force sensing,...
Printed Electronic:
Quad Industries is active in printed electronics, which is a platform technology based on the combination of light-weight, flexible materials and cost-effective production processes. By means of highly accurate screen-printing techniques we create smart labels on various substrates such as flexible films or paper.
This technology combines printing of connections, NFC antenna's, batteries,... with automatic component assembly to create smart labels and tags.
