Andreas Winkler

Andreas Winkler is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden), leading the Acoustic Microsystems group and co-leading SAWLab Saxony. His work focuses on integrating microfluidic, electric, and acoustic components into next-generation Lab-on-a-Chip devices for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

• Current position: Research Associate at IFW Dresden
• Leadership roles: Group leader and SAWLab co-leader
• Research themes: Acoustic wave interactions with fluids, functional thin films, unconventional lithography

His research spans Acoustofluidics, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology, and microscale material functionalization. Recent work explores SAW-driven aerosol generation, de-icing mechanisms, and biomedical microfabrication. Publications highlight collaborations with international institutions and applications in cell manipulation, plasma activation, and thin film sensors.

The 15 most recent articles (2025-2021) demonstrate expertise in acoustic wave actuation, microfluidic integration, and materials optimization. Topics include de-icing, cell sorting, plasma-activated aerosols, and thermomechanical characterization, with applications in biomedical devices, environmental engineering, and advanced manufacturing.

Active talks at institutions like Monash University (2024), TU Berlin (2024), and MIT (2017) show ongoing international engagement. Collaborations span Germany, Australia, Spain, and USA-based institutions.
