Brief description and aims of work
The Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz is a young university (established 1966). Over 19,000 students are enrolled in over 60 modern, hands-on academic degree programs. Research conducted at all three faculties – Social Sciences, Economics & Business, Law, and Engineering & Natural Sciences – is recognized worldwide. In the LiNaBioFluid program two Institutes are involved from the JKU: The Institute of Applied Physics and the Institute of Biomedical Mechatronics. The scientists at the institute of Biomedical Mechatronics are mainly working in four fields: Biomimetics, Biological surface characterisation, Development of measurement devices in biology and medicine and Theoretical modelling of biological processes.
In the biomimetics field our focus is on the examination of biological effects and the development of possible technical applications. At the Institute of Applied Physics, the fundamental research includes nanophotonics, laser matter interactions and optical sensing. The group of Johannes Heitz at the Institute of Applied Physics is working on laser-matter interaction at surfaces including photo-induced nanopatterning and modification of polymer surfaces, deposition of thin polymer films by laser-ablation and laser-induced plasma spectroscopy. The institute also cooperates with industries in application-oriented research.
