معرفی
Niels Tas is an Associate Professor at the University of Twente, Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering, leading the Mesoscale Chemical Systems (MCS) group since 2014. He obtained his MSc (1995) and PhD (2000) in Electrical Engineering, focusing on micro-hydraulics and electrostatic micromotors.
His research spans MEMS, NEMS, and Lab-on-a-Chip technologies, emphasizing 3D nanofabrication techniques via corner lithography, anisotropic etching, and convex corner processing. Applications include energy harvesting, biomedical devices (e.g., U-Needle microneedles), chemical analysis, and multi-parameter sensing.
- 3D nanostructures for mechanical, fluidic, optical, and magnetic domains
- Capillarity and elasto-capillarity in nanochannels
- Acoustic resonators and flow sensors
- Electrochemical sensing with patterned electrodes
Recent publications highlight his work on fractal substrates for super-resolution imaging, SERS-active nanostructures, and silicon nanowedge fabrication. He has received awards such as the 2025 Best Poster and 2024 EIPBN Best Journal Paper Award.
