SHORT BIO
Thomas Mikolajick received the Dipl.-Ing. and the Dr.-Ing. In electrical engineering in 1990 and 1996 both from the University Erlangen-Nuremberg. From 1996 till 2006 he was in semiconductor industry (Siemens Semiconductor, Infineon, Qimonda) developing CMOS processes and memory devices. In that phase he was involved in the development of SBT based ferroelectric memories, the setup of the CBRAM project and the setup of the Infineon standalone Flash activity. In 2006 he was appointed professor for material science of electron devices at TUBAF Freiberg. Since 2009 he is a professor for nanoelectronics at TU Dresden and in parallel the scientific director of NaMLab GmbH. He is author or co-author of more than 400 publications (current h-index of 62 according to google scholar) and inventor or co-inventor in more than 50 patent families. He is a one of the speakers of the center for advancing electronics Dresden (cfaed). Together with his co-workers at NaMLab and other partners he pioneered hafnium oxide based fluoride structure ferroelectrics which is currently considered to be an important ingredient for future low power nonvolatile memories and steep subthreshold devices.
