Jan Mehner

Professor Jan Mehner is a faculty member at Chemnitz University of Technology, where he holds the Chair of Microsystems and Medical Technology within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. His work focuses on advanced modeling, simulation, and design automation of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with applications across industrial, automotive, and biomedical domains.

His research expertise spans MEMS design, coupled field simulations, finite and boundary element methods (FEM/BEM), and reduced order modeling (ROM). These methodologies enable efficient development and optimization of complex microsystems. Applications of his work include structural health monitoring, sensor integration, and smart systems for automation and medical technology.

Prof. Mehner is actively contributing to the academic and research community, recently recognized through membership in the Saxon Academy of Sciences. He is involved in cross-disciplinary initiatives such as the Robotic Institute Germany (RIG) at TU Chemnitz, demonstrating strong engagement in emerging technological frontiers.

He advises students and leads a research group focused on microsystem innovation. While specific grant details are not listed, his participation in DFG-funded research groups like FOR 5242 suggests active involvement in nationally supported scientific projects.

The laboratory under his leadership, the Professorship of Microsystems and Medical Technology, develops cutting-edge solutions in sensor-integrated materials and intelligent microsystems, contributing to advancements in smart manufacturing and medical devices.
