Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marc Reichenbach, a well-experienced expert in processor architectures and processor development, has been appointed as a university full professor for “Integrated Systems” at the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at University of Rostock, effective from June 1st, 2023. Prof. Dr. Reichenbach also completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science and pursued a post-doctoral position at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.

His academic achievements demonstrate his dedication to advancing the field of computer science. Prior to his new role, he served as a substitute Professor at the BTU Cottbus for almost two years, further enriching his teaching and research experience. Marc’s extensive knowledge, combined with his international visibility and scientific skills, make him a valuable asset for the University of Rostock.

In a groundbreaking move to promote excellence and counteract structural disadvantages, Dr. Erika Covi, a scientist at NaMLab, has been appointed as the first “TUD Young Investigator” at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering by the rectorate of the Technical University of Dresden (TUD). 

This prestigious status aims to integrate exceptional and independent junior research group leaders more closely within the faculties at the renowned Dresden science location. Her extensive experience in NaMLab will be instrumental in integrating well-founded knowledge into the faculty while offering qualifications tailored to the industry’s changing needs. Moreover, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Mikolajick, who serves as the chair holder of nanoelectronics and scientific director at NaMLab, further strengthens the collaboration between the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering and NaMLab gGmbH. Having such a close partnership ensures seamless knowledge and expertise exchange between the two institutions.

The introduction of the “TUD Young Investigator” program is expected to have a far-reaching impact, providing exceptional junior researchers with enhanced opportunities to collaborate, lead their own research groups, and make significant contributions to their respective fields. By actively integrating these young talents, TUD aims to foster innovation and promote academic excellence at its science location in Dresden.

In the priority program MemrisTec women play a crucial role in the research of memristive devices toward smart systems. But also we are far away from gender equality – which is why we want to continue to encourage young women to head to (STEM) sciences.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Mikolajick, an esteemed figure in the field of semiconductor technology, continues to make groundbreaking strides in the world of electronics and nanoelectronics.

Throughout his illustrious career, Prof. Mikolajick has made significant contributions in the development of novel materials and has been honored with two prestigious international awards for his groundbreaking research in non-volatile memory.

Firstly, he has been recognized as a “Highly Cited Researcher“, placing him among the top 1% of the most frequently cited scientists in his research field. In Germany, only 369 individuals have achieved this distinction, highlighting the significant impact of Professor Mikolajick’s scientific contributions.

Additionally, Professor Mikolajick is set to be appointed as an “IEEE Fellow” by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers on January 1, 2023. This prestigious title is the highest honor bestowed by the international professional association for engineers, recognizing exceptional international achievements within a specific field.

These awards not only acknowledge Professor Thomas Mikolajick’s outstanding contributions to non-volatile memory research but also underscore his global influence and reputation as a leading figure in the field. His research continues to focus on developing innovative materials and fabrication techniques, aiming to unlock new possibilities in semiconductor technology.
