Johanna Zikulnig
Johanna Zikulnig was born in 1990 in Graz and lives in Carinthia, which is located in the South of Austria. In 2017, she obtained a master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Graz University of Technology. After working as a Junior Researcher in the Smart Systems Group at Carinthian Tech Research, she joined the Sensor Applications Group at Silicon Austria Labs (SAL), where she is currently employed as a Scientist.
Her scientific interests are on the development of sustainable sensors focusing on printing and hybrid technologies.
As part of her PhD project at EPFL, a sustainable self sufficient sensor platform for gas sensing applications will be developed. The goal is to use sustainable materials and additive manufacturing without requiring a battery or other potentially environmentally harmful components for energy storage and supply. This self-sufficient gas sensing platform can be used for e.g. low-cost and wireless breath analysis. The PhD project is co-supervised by Prof. Sandro Carrara (EPFL) and Dr. Jürgen Kosel (Head of SAL research unit “Sensor Applications”).
Amar Kapic
He graduated with B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Power and Control Systems from the University of Montenegro, with high distinction. During his master studies he took part in an International Exchange Programme at the University of Sapienza, Rome. His master research was focused on the proposal of novel adaptive algorithms for maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic systems which led to publication of two conference papers. In 2017 he participated in a Summer Student Programme at CERN while in 2018 he did a year-long internship (Technical Studentship) at the same laboratory. His responsibility was to design a setup for testing humidity and temperature sensors for CMS detector, program PLCs and create a SCADA system to monitor and control sensors’ data during the testing period. In January 2019 he joined Integrated Circuits Laboratory (ICLAB) at EPFL and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Microsystems and Microelectronics under the supervision of Prof. Sandro Carrara. He is currently based at CERN and as a member of CMX group he is working on development of humidity sensors for High Energy Physics applications.
