Niels Quack (born 1980 in Göttigen) is a Swiss and German engineer specialized in optical micro engineering. He is a SNFS professor at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and director of the Photonic Micro- and Nanosystems Laboratory at EPFL's School of Engineering.[1][2][3][4]

Career[edit]

Quack studied engineering at EPFL and received his Master's degree in 2005. He then joined Jürg Dual's Institute for Mechanical Systems at ETH Zurich as a PhD student and graduated in 2010 with a thesis on "Micromirrors for integrated tunable mid-infrared detectors and emitters."[5][4] In 2011, he went to work as a postdoctoral researcher at Ming C. Wu’s Integrated Photonics Laboratory at University of California, Berkeley. From 2014 to 2015, he was senior microelectromechanical systems engineer with Sercalo Microtechnology Inc.[6]

Since 2015, he has been an SNFS Assistant Professor with the EPFL, and head of the Photonic Micro- and Nanosystems Laboratory at EPFL's School of Engineering.[1][2][3]

Research[edit]

The research interests of Quack's group include photonic micro- and nanosystems engineering for integrated transducers.[7] They focus on diamond photonics and silicon photonic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS),[8] and photonic switches and tunable optical microsystems that find application in infomation and communication technologies,[9] and emerging fields such as quantum information[10] and artificial intelligence.[11]

Quack's research has been featured in several international news outlet's such as Inside Unmanned Systems,[12] Swissinfo,[13] Phys.org,[14] Bilan,[15] Laser Focus World,[16], and Enerzine.[17]

Distinctions[edit]

Quack has been an associate editor Journal of Optical Microsystems,[18] Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS (JM3),[19] and Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems.[20] He has been a steering committee member of the IEEE International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics (OMN),[21] and served as general chair of the IEEE OMN 2018[22] and the Latsis Symposium 2019 on Diamond Photonics.[23]

He is a senior member of IEEE,[21] a member of The Optical Society, and a life member of SPIE.[24]

He is the recipient of the Outstanding Paper Award by Nature Microsystems & Nanoengineering 2020.[25][26]
