Biography

Sten Vollebregt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microelectronics at Delft University of Technology. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the same institution, graduating cum laude. His PhD thesis, completed in March 2014, focused on carbon nanotubes for vertical interconnects in 3D integrated circuits, conducted under the supervision of Kees Beenakker and Ryoichi Ishihara. His research interests are concentrated on (carbon-based) nanomaterials, low-dimensional materials, wide-bandgap semiconductors, and environmental sensors. Vollebregt has over 80 journal publications and three patents, and he has received the Young Investigator Award from Micro Nano Engineering in 2022 for his contributions to reproducible wafer-scale microfabrication of carbon-based materials. He is also an editor for the journal Micro Nano Engineering and has served on the technical program committee for IEEE MEMS and Transducers conferences. His work integrates emerging electronic materials with semiconductor technologies, particularly in sensing applications. He has developed novel techniques including a transfer-free wafer-scale chemical vapor deposition method and has collaborated with various industrial partners to advance research in sensor technologies. Vollebregt continues to advance the field of electronic materials at a leading level, engaging with both academic and industry-based research.
