Prof. Dr. Niels Quack has assumed his position as Managing Director of Institut f\u00fcr Mikroelektronik Stuttgart (IMS CHIPS) on April 1, 2025. Joining forces with Prof. Dr. Jens Anders, he heads the research facility into the future with innovative strength and strategic foresight.<\/p>

<\/p>

Momentum for micro- and nanotechnology<\/strong><\/p>

Prof. Dr. Quack has extensive experience in micro- and nano systems technology. His research focuses on innovative micro- and nano manufacturing techniques for new materials and the integration of mechanics and photonics on the smallest scale.<\/span> \u201cI am looking forward to providing technological momentum to IMS CHIPS and working together with a highly qualified team on pioneering innovations,\u201d says Quack.<\/p>

<\/p>

Particular attention will be paid to the further development of integrated photonics for data centers and high-performance computers as well as essential key technologies in micro- and nano systems technology – topics that will play a central role in science and industry in the coming years.<\/p>

<\/p>

Solid link between research and teaching<\/strong><\/p>

In addition to his role as Managing Director at the IMS, Prof. Dr. Quack has been appointed as university professor at the University of Stuttgart. This will strengthen the close cooperation between fundamental university research and industrial application. \u201cThis connection is crucial to further advancing Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg as a location for innovation,\u201d emphasizes Quack.<\/p>

<\/p>

Prof. Dr. Jens Anders is also pleased about the new appointment: \u201cWith Niels Quack, we are gaining an outstanding scientist who will take the IMS to a new level with his expertise and international experience. We are looking forward to setting new technological milestones together.\u201d<\/p>

<\/p>

After several years as Associate Professor and Academic Director of the Research and Prototype Foundry at the University of Sydney, Prof. Dr. Quack is now returning to Germany. \u201cThe research & development activities at IMS CHIPS top notch globally – I\u00b4m looking forward to contributing to the development of future-oriented technologies here,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>

<\/p>

Welcome to the IMS Prof. Dr. Niels Quack!<\/p>

<\/p>

The entire team is looking forward to a successful collaboration and groundbreaking innovations for \u201cThe L\u00c4ND\u201d!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
