OUR

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of the Ceramics for Smart Systems (CSS) group is the design and development of functional ceramics and their integration into advanced systems.

With extensive experience in microstructure control and its relationship with ceramic material properties, we seek functionalities applicable in "Smart Systems."

We utilize a variety of ceramics with electrical, magnetic, and optical properties, such as ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, insulators, dielectrics, and semiconductors. Our work focuses on developing new materials and advanced technologies, as well as discovering new functionalities through a deep understanding of the involved physical and chemical phenomena.
