Since June 2022, our PhD student Felix Jiang from the Micro- and Nanoelectronic Sensors group is in Tokyo for research purposes. Under the guidance of Prof. Junko Morikawa, he is working at the "Morikawa Lab" at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. In this context, he is working on the project "Polymer Thermophysical Properties Materials Informatics", which is funded by JST CREST. IWE1 is responsible for fabrication and application of micro- and nanoscale temperature sensor arrays as part of his PhD research. In addition, he also conducted research at Shizuoka University as well as at the AIST National Metrology Institute in Tsukuba. Jan will still be in Tokyo until the end of this year.
