Dr. Frank Jörg Clemens

Dr. Frank Clemens, is Group Leader (Smart Ceramic Processing) in the Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics at Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Switzerland. His scientific and applied research belongs to thermoplastic processing of powder-based sensors, actuators and structural materials. His group focus on national and international projects in this field, he works with physics, chemists, material scientists and engineers together to investigate activation energies on different processing steps. Besides, he develops new strategies for the processing of functional ceramics and soft sensor materials and structures. Since 2003 he is a lecturer at ETH Zurich (CH) and since 2010 lecturer at ZHAW (CH). He has more than 140 peer-reviewed articles and patents.
