"In nanoelectronics we work in a similar way to architects"
Prof. Mathieu Luisier heads the "Computational Nanoelectronics" group at the Institute of Integrated Systems. In our interview, the "Golden Owl" winner talks about the challenges of nanotechnology and about how he, as a former D-ITET graduate, perceives the department and its development. In the spring semester, he gives the lecture "Applications of Thermal Modelling: From Hot Atoms to Heated Tissues", in which there are still free places. It's worth dropping by!
