Back to Application Center AZARE

Prof. Dr. Markus Bender

I have been Professor of Micro- and Nanotechnologies since 2020. In research and teaching, I focus on solids, surfaces, vacuum and microsystems technology. As Deputy Director of the Institute for Microtechnologies at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences (IMtech), I apply my research to the development of sensors. In a recent project with the company Archigas GmbH (former students of the university), a new type of hydrogen sensor was developed in which the disadvantages of existing sensor systems were eliminated, resulting in a sensor that is suitable for the mass market. I'm very interested in sensor technology like this, but also in filling level sensors for hydrogen vehicle tanks, for example. Their development at the AZARE application centre is my contribution to the energy transformation.
