Best Poster awards at Microelectronic Research Day 2025
- Wednesday, 29 January 2025
With over 250 participants in a gorgeus location for a thriving community, we can look back on a very successful second edition of our Microelectronics Research day!
The day started with a plenary talk by Chris van Hoof (imec, Belgium) and continued invited talks by George Malliaras (Cambridge University, UK), Michael Mihotek (Infineon, Germany) and Stefan Wunderer (Nokia, Germany), as well and in particular with two poster sessions showing a selection of the research works of the department.
The day ended with the presentation of the Best Poster Awards. Out of a total of 90 posters, the 3 posters were selected by popular vote.
The winners of 2025 are: Vasiliki Zacharia for theme Health and Wellbeing ("Rethinking Cancer Treatment: A Cancer-on-a-Chip device for Personalized Medicine"), Feza Turgay Celik for theme Next-Generation Sensing and Communication ("CoolAnt: Integrated antenna design and cooling concepts in phased arrays"), and Mudassir Husain for theme Autonomous Sensor Systems ("Eco-Friendly Functionalization of Graphene via Spark Ablation for Enhanced Gas Sensing Applications"). Congratulations to the winners!
We will be looking forward to the next edition of the Microelectronics Research Day in 2026!
