Biography
Jan G. Korvink obtained his M.Sc. in computational mechanics from the University of Cape Town, 1987, and his Ph.D. in applied computer science from the ETH Zurich in 1993. After his graduate studies, he joined the Physical Electronics Laboratory of the ETH Zurich, where he established and lead the MEMS Modeling Group. This was followed by a move in 1997 to the Albert Ludwig University in Freiburg, Germany, where he is Professor for microsystems engineering and runs the Laboratory for Microsystem Simulation. Dr. Korvink is a curative board member of the Fraunhofer Group of the Fraunhofer Society. He is a Research Advisory Panel member for the Scientific Research Council (CSIR) in South Africa. He is a steering committee member of the International Research Group -Nano Microsystems (NAMIS).
Research Interest
His research interests cover the development of ultra low cost micromanufacturing methods, microsystem applications in the area of ​​magnetic resonance imaging, and the design and simulation of micro- and nanosystems.
