Tampere University joins the SiNANO Institute’s members
The SiNANO Institute's mission is to promote research, development and collaboration that strengthens the global impact of European excellence in the field of nanoelectronic components and systems. As a non-profit organisation, the Institute builds a network of European researchers to accelerate the development of nanoelectronics.
In its press release, SiNANO introduces the University of Tampere and it´s cooperation:
"Tampere University is one of the most multidisciplinary universities in Finland with about 21000 students and 4000 staff members, leads world-class research on Microelectronics and Photonics and holds leadership of the flagship programs awarded by Research Council of Finland. Tampere University will bring new opportunities for collaboration to the SiNANO network in the semiconductor research field and develop its global visibility.
Among its main topics of research, Tampere University is particularly specialized on AI, RF, 6G, Security and health systems. It is for instance home to System-on-Chip (SoC) Hub, a joint effort with companies to design new SoCs for AI, 6G, sensing, imaging and security applications. In recent times, Tampere University became one of the prominent hubs in Europe for Neuromorphic Computing research."
A World class Laboratory
Tampere University's Laboratory for Future Electronics (LFE) has been selected by the Academy of Finland for the 2021-2028 Roadmap for National Research Infrastructures and has more than 300 square metres of clean room space for semiconductor production.
Earlier this spring, Tampere Univeristy received significant funding from the EU to build a semiconductor pilot line. The university is involved in the wideband-gap (WBG) pilot line, which focuses on the development of so-called WBG semiconductor technologies and the testing and integration of chips created with them. The Tampere Microscopy Centre provides a state-of-the-art research environment for analysing the structure and chemical composition of different materials down to the atomic level. The University also has extensive facilities for thin film production and materials characterisation.
SiNANO membership strengthens international cooperation at Tampere University
Sayani Majumdar, Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering Information Technologies and Communication Sciences at TAU, and key actor of this partnership with SiNANO, said “I am delighted that SiNANO has accepted Tampere University as a member. This alliance will significantly increase our visibility in the European nanotechnology sector and provide our students with unique opportunities to engage with leading research infrastructures in Europe. It will also facilitate extensive collaboration not only within Europe but also with partner countries such as Japan and South Korea.
We believe we will offer wide range of activities and strategic collaboration potentials at research and academic levels, that will contribute to the objectives of SINANO.”
