July 2022 – EMVA

Keynote:
Terahertz Light-Field Imaging and Sensing with Silicon Integrated Circuits

Prof. Dr. Ullrich Pfeiffer, University of Wuppertal

Ullrich Pfeiffer received the Ph.D. in physics from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in 1999.
Till 2006 he was with the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. Since 2008 he holds the High-frequency and Communication Technology chair at the University of Wuppertal, Germany. His current research includes the design of silicon integrated circuits for THz applications. Among other awards, he is the recipient of an ERC and European Young Investigator Award, the co-recipient of the 2004 and 2006 Lewis Winner Award, as well as the 2012 and 2018 Jan Van Vessem Award at the ISSCC Conference. In 2017 he received the Microwave Prize. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, served as a IEEE SSCS Distinguished Lecturer, has authored and co- authored 200+ publications, and has been the co-inventor of 10+ US and international issued patents, relating to RF, millimeter-wave, terahertz communication/imaging circuits and sensors

Jochem Herrman, co-founder and chief scientist of Adimec and former President of the EMVA enters his well deserved retirement.

A luxury porcelain manufacturer based outside Florence, Italy has been a leader in handcrafted, elegantly designed tableware going back to the 18th century. Porcelain, otherwise referred to as fine china, it is renowned for its strength, durability, and pristine white color.
Yet, it is precisely that immaculate white color which poses numerous manufacturing challenges. For a robot arm to accurately locate raw white teacups on the production line and accurately place them in rows, a 2D vision system was not up to the task of distinguishing the different sizes, shapes, and positioning of the product.
