Biography of the Keynote Speaker

Andreas Hierlemann completed his college education in chemistry at the University of Tübingen (Diploma 1992). He was awarded a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry in 1996, also by the Eberhard-Karls University in Tübingen, Germany. After that, he held postdoctoral positions at Texas A & M University (1997) in College Station, Texas, USA, and at the Sandia National Laboratories (1997-1998) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. In 1999, he joined the physics department of ETH Zurich, where he worked until his appointment to Associate Professor of Microsensorics in June 2004. Among his recent awards are the Swiss Technology Award (2004), the Special Award of the Swiss "Stiftung Natur und Umwelt" (2004), and the IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award (2005). His research interests include the development of bio-/chemical microsensors and -systems as well as the interfacing of microtechnology, in particular microelectronics, with living cells such as cardiomyocytes or neurons.
