Dr Fabian Lütolf is an R&D engineer at the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) in Muttenz. His activities include the management and execution of projects related to the design, prototyping and scaled manufacturing of micro- and nanostructures. Dr Lütolf has a PhD in photonics and his current focus is the transfer of diffractive and plasmonic nanostructures to applications in life science.

Besides diffraction and plasmonics, Dr Lütolf’s research interests include a variety of manufacturing technologies with a focus on scalable processes. Some examples of the technologies that the CSEM has successfully applied include functional printing, photolithography and various embossing methods in order to pilot the fabrication of sensors, optical components and also banknotes and augmented reality devices.
