Stefan Knaust Email & Phone Number

Structure, analyze and simplify. Goal oriented mindset with multifaceted experience of concept development, from design, FEM simulation and manufacturing to designing experimental platforms and evaluation, using both standard techniques, as well as developing new ways to meet ambitions goals.My experience of software engineering tools include among other: CAD (AutoCAD, Solidworks), FEM (COMSOL), Programming (C#, LabVIEW, MATLAB), Multivariate data analysis (PLS and PCA). I am also familiar with many manufacturing technologies, mostly used for MEMS-manufacturing, including lithography, sputtering, evaporation, metal ink-jet printing, plasma etching and wet chemical etching.Key milestones include:- Investigation and manipulation of water and supercritical carbon dioxide microflows.- Development of the to-date strongest peristaltic membrane micropump, capable of pumping at pressures up to 15 MPa.- Development of a test bed inside an ESEM for in-situ characterization of materials and components at high temperature conditions.- Development of a high-temperature wireless passive pressure sensor for temperatures up to 1000 °C.

Listed skills include Materials Science, Matlab, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Characterization, and 19 others.
