University of Freiburg - IMTEK

The Department of Microsystems Technology (IMTEK) at the University of Freiburg is unique in Europe. With 23 professors and over 350 research and technical staff, its scientific scope encompasses nearly all technical fields relevant to the highly interdisciplinary world of microsystems technology. Through the depth and range of our activities, we are one of the internationally leading academic research departments in this dynamic and innovative field. New technologies for distributed embedded systems are developed in the DFG funded research training group "Micro Energy Harvesting" that enable sensor nodes to operate autonomously without batteries or cables.
