Nanotechnology: An Introduction to Nanostructuring Techniques, 2nd, Completely Revised Edition

Michael Kohler is a Professor of Physical Chemistry and Microreaction Technology at the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany, since 2001 and at the same time Visiting Scientist at the Institute for Physical High Technology (IPHT) in Jena, also Germany. He studied chemistry and completed his Ph.D in Halle an der Saale and Jena and completed his habilitation in general and physical chemistry, giving lectures at Wuppertal University and serving from 1993 on as lecturer at the Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena for microlithography, microsystem technology and nanotechnology.

Wolfgang Fritzsche heads the Biotechnical Microsystems Department at the Institute for Physical High Technology (IPHT) in Jena, Germany, since 2001. He obtained his diploma from the Friedrich-Schiller-University (FSU) Jena, then went on to research work on AFM of DNA-protein complexes at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Gottingen, receiving his Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from the Georg-August-University in Gottingen. He held a postdoc position at Iowa State University, USA, working there from 1994 to 1996 on biological AFM and image processing.
