Overview

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting‑edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well‑being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain. The Laboratory of Advanced Materials Processing (LAMP) is a multidisciplinary research unit that develops innovative functional modification of materials by beam (e.g., laser light, electrons) and plasma induced processing. LAMP provides full‑cycle technology development, starting from novel materials, deep understanding of the background physics of beam‑matter interactions, development of automated AI/ML systems for novel materials processing and quality insurance. The lab combines additive manufacturing, large‑scale laser micro‑processing, multiscale modelling and AI/ML for the quality monitoring/control, at the end offering to society novel nanostructured materials, their shape‑forming and integration into devices. ...
