Tapani Ryhänen
Organisation: Emberion Role: CTO Based in: Espoo, Finland
Tapani Ryhänen has been working on different nanomaterials and their applications in various sensors and electronic components since 2007. ‘During the past ten years, my team
has systematically focused on creating novel image sensors and cameras based on colloidal quantum dots and 2D layered materials, especially graphene. Expanding the wavelength range of affordable image sensors to SWIR and MWIR will open numerous applications in industrial machine vision, spectroscopy and eventually in consumer applications,’ said Ryhänen.
Education: Doctor of Technology, Aalto University, Finland
This will be possible using lower cost
manufacturing technologies and novel materials, he predicts. ‘We will see SWIR and MWIR sensors in environmental measurement, as enablers of circular economy and various industrial measurements.’ While Ryhänen believes the stability of nanomaterial-based image sensors will improve gradually and that they will be robust over time and in challenging operating conditions, he said scaling up their production 'requires a lot of effort and investments’. Ryhänen plans to attend Photonics West.
Congratulations, Tapani!
“Dr. Tapani Ryhänen has been a visionary leader in the sensor and photonics industries over several decades. He not only founded Nokia Research Center’s Cambridge nanotechnology laboratory and subsequently Emberion Oy, a leader in development of high-performance industrial cameras, but he has been a key figure in the EU Graphene Flagship Project and a number of other international efforts, publications, patents and discussion to drive the development of photonics industry forward. As the CTO of Emberion,
Jasmin Saewe
Organisation: Fraunhofer ILT Role: Head of Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Much of Jasmin Saewe’s work is aimed at expanding the range of materials available for use in additive manufacturing (AM). ‘Some say there are already enough
materials in AM, however if you look at the numbers, I would say that in conventional manufacturing there are still several factors more materials available to select from,’ she said in a recent webinar. Saewe’s research while pursuing her PhD
involved using preheating systems during the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process to circumvent the formation of cracks in wear- resistant, high-strength steels, with results
Based in: Aachen, Germany Education: PhD Mechanical Engineering, Aachen University
assessed at the microstructure level using techniques such as light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. In 2021, Saewe became the head of the
ILT’s LPBF department, which strives to optimise productivity and reliability in LPBF systems. In addition to developing multi- laser machines, adaptive process control and advanced sensor arrays, the department is also adapting the digital process chain, both preparing manufacturing data and making it more understandable for LPBF machines via machine learning techniques.
Tapani continues to be the intellectual leader of the development of novel nanomaterial-based sensor solutions and also oversees the entire end-to- end camera system development for a growing portfolio of globally unique and competitive products.”
