Hamed Sadeghian Marnani

Hamed Sadeghian is an Associate Professor and Chair of Nano-Optomechatronics Instrumentation development at the Mechanical Engineering Department at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His areas of expertise include Mechatronics systems design,  System architecture, optomechatronics, nanometrology and nano-optomechatronics instruments (NOMI).

His research interest is to developMechatronics Systems where the core is based on interaction of electromagnetic or mechanical waves with matters, where often nonlinearities and dynamics at the nano-scales plays important role. Examples are development of the parallel AFM as a sub-nm, high throughput metrology and inspection solution for Semiconductor industry, high resolution optical microscopy with meta-instruments, 3D nanotomography (subsurface nanoimaging) to resolve invisible nanostructures under the surface and bio-instruments for ultra-early cancer diagnosis and identification of viruses.

Hamed’s ambition and passion is to develop technologies that enable exploration and exploitation of the atom-scale world level leading to the real-world applications as well as valorize inventions through collaboration with industrial partners. This also includes acting as an incubator to start new/joint ventures. These create the instruments to image, measure and fabricate devices at the level of individual atoms at a humanly acceptable and economically attractive level.

I see a future where humanity will solve many challenges in data, energy and life sciences by a continuous miniaturization in device fabrication, down to the atomic scale.”
