Tamara Visch receives Best Poster Award in NEM Day 2026

Piezoelectric thin films offer unique opportunities for adaptive functionality in MEMS applications and are a major research focus within the XUV Group. For her MSc thesis, Tamara Visch investigates the deposition of piezoelectric thin films using pulsed laser deposition. A key scientific challenge is understanding how deposition conditions influence the films' functional properties.

Tamara's poster, titled "Growth optimization of PZT thin films for enhanced piezoelectric device peerformance", was awarded the Best Poster Award in recognition of its scientific scope, high-quality data, and clear presentation.
