Notes on the Contributors
Andreas Hinsch is a physicist who has been working as a researcher
for many years. He is responsible for the dye solar cell activities
of Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), Freiburg,
Germany. For the project ColorSol, he was in charge of technology
research and development and the technology transfer to the
companies involved.
Andreas Jäkel studied physics at the University of Kassel, Germany,
from 2001 to 2008. In May 2008 he joined the Department of
Technological Electronics, University of Kassel, where he worked
on his Ph.D. in micro-optical and electromechanical systems with a
focus on micromirror applications. He is one of the project leaders
at the Institute of Nanostructure Technologies and Analytics and
responsible for the development of micromirror arrays for active
windows.
Jan D. König is group leader for the Thermoelectric Energy
Conversion branch in the Thermoelectric Systems department of
the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques
(IPM), Freiburg, Germany. He is project manager in different
projects regarding thermoelectric materials research, measurement
systems, and thermoelectric generator development. Some of
his remarkable projects include the design and fabrication of
a fully automated material measurement setup, standardization
of thermoelectric metrology, and the development of a smallscale
production of thermoelectric generator for high-temperature
application. König’s current activities cover nanoscale bulk and thinfilm
research on Bi 2 Te 3 , PbTe, and silicide-based materials as well
as the development of a high-temperature generator for automotive
applications. Since 2009 he is executive board member of the
German Thermoelectric Society.
Nico Kreinberger has a B.A. from University of Stuttgart, Germany,
where he studied politics, sociology, and empirical social research.
In the EU-FP 7–funded NanoCode project he conducted an international
survey and several conferences on the responsible research
of nanotechnologies. At the Switzerland-based Risk Dialogue Foundation
he works in the fields of nanotechnologies, microsystem
technologies, and climate change in several stakeholder dialogues.
