Biography

Franz Kreupl conducts research on applications of nano-carbon-based materials, with a focus on carbon nanotubes, nanowires, and graphene. These materials hold potential to significantly improve the performance of components, sensors, and interconnects in information and energy storage devices. Kreupl studied physics at the University of Regensburg and earned his doctorate there in 1998, receiving a Siemens scholarship. He subsequently joined Siemens’ central research department as a development engineer. Beginning in 2000, he served as project manager for carbon nanotubes and nanowires in carbon materials at Infineon Corporate Research. From 2006 to 2009, he was responsible for evaluating new memory technologies at Qimonda. In 2009, he moved to SanDisk in Silicon Valley, California, where he oversaw the development of 3D memory technologies. In April 2011, Kreupl was awarded an Associate Professorship in Hybrid Electronic Systems at TUM. He is a member of the German Physical Society, the Material Research Society, and a Senior Member of IEEE.
