Vita

Zengerle, Roland 2019-08 Born in 1965, Professor Roland Zengerle studied physics at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. From 1990 to 1995 he was a research engineer at the Fraunhofer-Institute of Solid State Technology in Munich (today: Fraunhofer EMFT). In 1994 Prof. Zengerle received a PhD degree for his thesis on the development of an electrostatically driven micropump. In 1995 he accepted a position as head of the microfluidics department at the Institut für Mikro- und Informationstechnik of the Hahn-Schickard-Gesellschaft in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany.

Since 1999 Prof. Zengerle is full professor at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) at the University of Freiburg, Germany. His laboratory named Laboratory for MEMS Applications is a foundation of industry in order to stimulate the cooperation between industry and academic research.

Since 2005 Prof. Zengerle is co-director of Hahn-Schickard having branches in Villingen-Schwenningen and Freiburg. Hahn-Schickard is a non-profit organization supporting industry in developing new products based on MEMS technologies.

Since October 2007 Prof. Zengerle is member of the “BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies” at the University of Freiburg.

The research of Prof. Zengerle and his team is focused on microfluidics and specializes in

  • lab-on-a-chip systems
  • contact-free microdosage technologies and applications
  • miniaturized and implantable drug delivery systems
  • analysis and modeling of porous electrodes in batteries and fuel cells
  • biofuel cells

 

Prof. Zengerle is a member of the German National Academy of Sciences (Leopoldina) and is/was involved in the steering committees of several national and international conferences, such as IEEE-MEMS (2001 – 2009), Transducers (since 2012) and MicroTAS. He was also the founder of the bi-annual national MEMS conference series in Germany and he also co-founded the Springer Journal of Microfluidics and Nanofluidics (impact factor 2012: ~ 3.2).
