AMO is a member of the EU-funded project GREAT (Grating Reflectors Enabled laser Applications and Training). The overall aim of the project is to train a cohort of 15 ESRs through the completion of interconnected individual projects which will deliver innovative approaches for development and use of Grating Waveguide Structures (GWS), from design to implementation in laser systems.

AMO congratulates Daniel Neumaier for his appointment as Full Professors at the University of Wuppertal, where he now holds the Chair of Smart Sensor Systems. “We are all very happy for Daniel for this big achievement”, says AMO’s Director Prof. Max Lemme, “even if this is, of course, a big loss for AMO. It was not really unexpected, though, since he is a very prominent scientist with high international visibility, in particular in the graphene community.”
It is has been a long tradition at AMO to take a group picture in front of the blossoming cherry trees outside AMO’s building. This spring the picture was taken in shifts, with a 2m-distance between people – like any other activity at AMO since middle March 2020. [read more »]
AMO is partner of ZeroAMP, a Horizon 2020 project that aims at developing ultra-low power computing elements able to survive extreme environmental conditions. [read more »]
AMO is partner of PlasmoniAC, an EU-funded project that aims at realizing a radically new circuit-technology for neuromorphic computing based on plasmons.
The FET-OPEN project POSEIDON had its kick-off meeting on January, 23-24, 2020 in Aachen, Germany, in the facilities of AMO GmbH. POSEIDON is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, which aims at developing a radically new bottom-up approach for integrated light sources for silicon photonics.

Max Lemme is the protagonist of a short video produced by Arte for series Verknüpft (Linked). Using a simple and vivid language, the video explores the connection between a common pencil and a self-driving car. That connection is graphene – or better nanotechnology based on graphene, like the one developed by Lemme’s group at AMO and RWTH.
AMO has grown consistently in the past three years, gaining new people, new projects, and new inputs. On December 4, 2019, it has taken a pause to look back to these developments and to look forward to the future. All members of AMO and of the Chair of Electronic Devices (ELD) have met in Kasteel Vaalsbroek (Vaals, NL) for a one-day workshop to discuss the mission, the vision and the values of AMO.

All partners of the ORIGNEAL project have met in Wien for a kick-off meeting at TU Wien on November 27-28, 2019.
The Zuse community continues growing. The Association of Non-Profit Industrial Research Institutes has affiliated as its 74th member the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mikro- und Optoelektronik GmbH (AMO) from Aachen. AMO is active in the research and development of new technologies such as nano- and optoelectronics. During the membership ceremony that took place yesterday in Aachen, the participants were all very pleased with the development. [read more »]
