Increasing demands on the reliability of power electronics but at the same time growing reliability risks due to the high complexity of the devices make highly accurate lifetime models and improved reliability methods for the development of these power electronics components necessary. Dr. Alexander Otto from the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS has successfully developed methods and models for these requirements and has now been awarded the Fraunhofer ENAS Research Award 2020 for his work.

Get a proof of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus or of immunity to the virus within one hour. Accelerate healing processes with electrical stimulation through an active wound patch. Fraunhofer ENAS will present these and other topics for the first time from November 16-19 at the digital medical technology trade fair virtual.COMPAMED 2020.

Fraunhofer ENAS contributes its expertise on continuously tunable Fabry-Pérot filter for a monitoring system of COVID-19 patients within the Fraunhofer cluster project M3Infekt. The cluster project aims to develop a monitoring system that enables early intervention in the event that a patient’s condition suddenly starts to deteriorate. It will be a modular, multimodal and mobile system, and will also be suitable for use in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. By facilitating the required intervention at an early stage, the system helps to lessen the effects of disease, shorten the duration of therapy and make flexible use of intensive care wards.

As of September 1, 2020, Prof. Harald Kuhn takes over the management of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in Chemnitz and a professorship at Chemnitz University of Technology, which has been rededicated from "Microtechnology" to "Smart Systems Integration."
