Photonics is one of the most important key technologies of the 21st century and offers virtually limitless applications in industrial production. Flexibility and energy efficiency are just a few of the benefits of photonic processes. Hochschule Campus Wien is establishing a research focus centered on light-based technology, which is expected to benefit both education and industry.

Department

Engineering

The focus is on optical material testing and optical processing technologies. These primarily include the areas of printable electronics, laser sintering technologies, stereolithography and microwave photonics - with potential applications for intelligent packaging, property-optimised components, biomedical diagnostics and environmental analysis. A laser laboratory and photonics laboratories create application-orientated conditions for research and teaching, in which photonics is also anchored through an endowed professorship. The latest findings are made available to SMEs in particular, for example through seminar papers, Bachelor's and Master's theses that provide innovative solutions for SMEs and industry.

 

Research Goals

  • Development of R&D focus on photonics
  • Know-how transfer to teaching
  • Photonics knowledge bridge to SMEs
  • International photonics conference
