Business matching event with Fraunhofer in Nihonbashi "Production Automation and Optical Imaging/ Quality Assurance in Life Science"

*Japanese page
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, headquartered in Germany, is the world’s leading organization for applied research.
Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft currently operates 81 institutes and research institutions with 30.000 employees. Fraunhofer IPT is renowned for new approaches for production automation and optical imaging also in Life Science.
Production Automation and Optical Imaging in the Life Science market is of growing significance. It is expected to expand additionally over the next years with: The importance of improved imaging modalities in the areas of Optical Quality Assurance and Inline-Monitoring lead to increased demands for an appropriate technical support.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) can make valuable contributions here.
OCT is an imaging technique that can measure non-destructive tomographic depth information in transparent and semi-transparent tissue and cell cultures with a resolution of a few micrometers. More details: see slides introduction Fraunhofer IPT

Program

The persons from Fraunhofer who will be at Nihonbashi Life Science Building through 24/May- 26/May

Dipl.-Phys. Niels König, Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology, Head Department Production Metrology

Niels König studied physics at RWTH Aachen majoring in solid state physics and biomedical engineering. He worked as a scientist in the Production Metrology Department at the Fraunho-fer IPT from 2007 to 2013, concentrating on the design and manufacturing of fiber optic micro probes for interferometric distance metrology and the development of customized measure-ment systems. In 2010 he became manager of the group Fiber Optics. Since September 2013, Niels König has been chief engineer of the department "Production Metrology" at the Fraunho-fer IPT.

Enno Hachgenei, Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology, Department Production Me-trology, Group Manager Optical Metrology and Imaging Methods

Enno Hachgenei, M. Sc., born in 1991, studied medical engineering at the University of Lübeck and has been working as a research assistant in the department of Production Metrology at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT since 2018. Since 2021, he is managing the group of Optical Metrology and Imaging Methods.

Michael Witte, Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology, Head Department Production Metrology, Senior Research Manager, Liaison Officer OCTmapp

Michael Witte is Senior Research Manager at Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT with the focus biomedical applications (and covers all issues from research management to R&D marketing). Prior to that Michael Witte was Head Strategic Marketing at Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute. A vital focus is to set up and to oper-ate new businesses in the field of Medical Technology.
