Dr. Norbert Fabricius graduated in Physics and received his PhD from the University of Essen in 1985 for research on the interaction of high intensity laser radiation with semiconductor surfaces. In his industrial career between 1986 and 2002 he developed materials and processes for the manufacturing of integrated optical components used in telecommunication networks. His last industrial position was Director Operations at JDS Uniphase in Germany. In 2003 he joined the Research Centre Karlsruhe (now KIT) as the head of the Helmholtz Programmes Microsystem Technologies and Nanotechnology. Since 2008 he is responsible for nanotechnology standardization.He has experience in standardization on the national (DKE, DIN) and international (IEC, ISO) level since 25 years in different technology areas in industrial and academic environments. He acts as the Secretary for the IEC Technical Committee 113 “Nanotechnology standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems” and is a member in a number of related technical committees, like IEC Technical Committee 119 “Printed Electronics”. His most recent activity is the establishment of a standardization committee within the EU FET Flagship Initiative Graphene.Dr. Norbert Fabricius graduated in Physics and received his PhD from the University of Essen in 1985 for research on the interaction of high intensity laser radiation with semiconductor surfaces.
