Jörn Bonse

Jörn Bonse graduated from the University of Hannover in 1996 and received a doctoral degree in physics in 2001 from the Technical University, Berlin, Germany. He was with the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH), the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, the University of Siegen, and the Max-Born-Institute (MBI) in Berlin. He was subsequently appointed as a Senior Laser Application Specialist at Newport’s Spectra-Physics Lasers Division in Stahnsdorf, Germany. Currently, he is a tenured scientist at the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin. His research interests include the fundamentals and applications of laser–matter interaction, laser micro- and nanoprocessing, surface functionalization, and laser technology.

Andrés Fabián Lasagni received the M.Sc. degree in chemical engineering from National Comahue University, Argentina, in 2002 and the Ph.D. degree in materials science from Saarland University, Germany in 2006. From 2007 to 2008, he was a Research Scientist and Alexander von Humboldt Fellow with the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA. From 2008 to 2017, he was a Group Leader with the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS) in Dresden, Germany. Since 2012, he is Professor at the Institute of Manufacturing, at the Technische Universität Dresden, and since 2017 Director of the Center for Advanced Micro-Photonics (CAMP), in cooperation with Fraunhofer IWS. His research interests include the development of functionalized surfaces using laser-based fabrication methods, optical devices for high-throughput laser texturing and in-line monitoring systems.
