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.
Congratulations to our BioMCross-team for receiving the Best Paper in Electronics-Award at the MOCAST2022 conference for their publication: “SPICE Compact Model for an Analog Switching Niobium Oxide Memristor“.
The MemrisTec Board selected Leon Brackmann from RWTH Aachen for receiving the first MemrisTec Young Researcher Award for the best project presentation during the MemrisTec 2022 workshop.
„The winner exhibited excellent presentation skills. He was succint and was able to respond to the questions in a satisfying manner. His research is timesly and very useful for the broader community, and most importantly his results can be used as design guidlines for real-world-memristor-based applications.“

To encourage schoolgirls to STEAM and cliché-free career choices MemrisTec will start offering workshops, e.g. on machine learning, not only at Girls’Day but also in schools for more women in stem subjects.
The chair of Computer Engineering is now lead by Dr. Marc Reichenbach, who substitutes Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Michael Hübner, the new Vice President for Research and Transfer at BTU.
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) (DFG) establishes 14 new priority programs for 2020. 50 initiatives applied for the 6 year long research funding. Two of these are from program directors at the TU Dresden. Besides Thomas Heine, professor for theoretical chemistry, Ronald Tetzlaff, professor for Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, convinced the DFG with his research.
Starting in 2020, researchers may write proposals for subprojects to be a part of these research projects. The goal of these interdisciplinary priority programs is foundational research of very current topics or in just developing new areas of research.
The 14 new programs will receive for the first three years in total about 85 million Euro. Additionally, they will receive a 22 % fixed rate for indirect costs resulting from the projects. The DFG is currently funding 97 priority programs.
