"Emerging Fields" funded project (more)
Welcome to the Institute for Biomaterials at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
The Institute for Biomaterials at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering started teaching and research activities on 1st October 2009 with the appointment of Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Aldo R. Boccaccini (formerly at Imperial College London, UK), as Chair for Biomaterials.
The Electron Microscopy Group headed by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Erdmann Spiecker was founded on 1st September 2008. In its research the electron microscopy group focuses on the developments of electron microscopy methods for investigation of functional and nanomaterials.
The group operates a laboratory with three transmission electron microscopes, among these the new aberration-corrected Titan3 80-300.
Besides its activities at the chair the group also represents the electron microscopy in the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM), an interdisciplinary Center of the Cluster of Excellence "Engineering of Materials" (EAM).
The former Chair for Microcharacterisation under Prof. Dr. Horst P. Strunk does not exist anymore. You can reach the former webpage via www.imc.ww.uni-erlangen.de. Please note that the contents are not kept up to date.
Prof. Dr. Horst Strunk now is interim professor in Stuttgart at Institute for Material Science.
You are welcome to visit the German Website of the Institute for Biomaterials.
