Franz Selbmann completed his studies in electronic and sensor materials at Freiberg University of Mining and Technology in 2015 with a master's thesis in the field of parylene encapsulation at the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS. After a research stay at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, in 2016, where he focused on the development of polymer-based MEMS, he began his doctoral thesis on the development of parylene as a material for microsystems and flexible devices in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS in Chemnitz. Since 2019, he is Head of the "Flexible Devices"  group at the Institute for Nanoscale and Bio-based Materials at TU Freiberg. His research interests lie in the field of advanced materials and integration technologies for intelligent systems and their applications.

Florian Glauche completed his diploma in nanotechnology at TUBAF in August 2023. Through his academic training, he acquired in-depth knowledge in the development and characterization of functional micro- and nanostructures as well as expertise in the structuring of biocompatible polymers such as parylene using thermoforming processes for flexible electronics. In September 2023, he began his industrial doctorate on the production of flexible, adhesive and functional microstructures in the "Flexible Components" working group at TUBAF in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS in Chemnitz.

This project is funded as part of an industrial doctorate by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF Plus) or the Free State of Saxony and the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS in the funding period from 2023 to 2027.
