Flexible Electronics with Two-Dimensional and Layered Chalcogenide Compounds

Alwin Daus (RWTH Aachen University)

Biography: Dr. Alwin Daus obtained his Dr. sc. degree (2018) in the field of flexible electronics from ETH Zürich and his B.Sc./M.Sc. in electrical engineering from TU Braunschweig. During his studies, he did research stays and internships at Princeton University (surface chemistry), Robert Bosch LLC (micro-electromechanical systems) and Philips Technologie GmbH (organic light-emitting devices). After his doctoral degree, he received the Early Postdoc.Mobility Fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation and joined Stanford University. During his postdoc, he studied flexible electronic devices based on 2D materials and chalcogenides including transistors, memory, solar cells and sensors. For this work he was awarded the AVS Nanoscale Science and Technology Division Early Career Award in 2021. He is now a senior researcher at RWTH Aachen University, where he works on neuromorphic computing and establishes his own research group in the field of flexible 2D electronics based on his recent award of the Emmy Noether Programme by the German Research Foundation.
