Two-photon polymerization-based 3D-multi-electrode arrays for electrical monitoring of neuronal cells

3D-multi-electrode arrays (3D-MEAs) are needed to overcome the limitations of 2D-multi-electrode arrays (2D-MEAs) and enable the electrical characterization of 3D neuronal cultures in in vitro brain models, advancing the understanding of neurological disorders and paving the way to personalized medicine. The aim of this thesis was to overcome...

Thermally Driven Sound Source: Application of CNT nanofoams

On chip grown CNT nanofoam has a large surface to volume ratio and excellent thermal electrical properties, which is suitable to be used as a thermoacoustic heater. The highly porous foam exchanges heat with surrounding air efficiently. Every processing step is specifically designed to be CMOS compatible using cleanroom microfabrication. This...
