Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain. The Laboratory of Advanced Materials Processing (LAMP) is a multidisciplinary research unit that develops innovative functional modification of materials by beam (e.g. laser light, electrons) and plasma induced processing. LAMP provides full cycle technology development, starting from novel materials, deep understanding of the background physics of beam-matter interactions, development of automated AI/ML systems for novel materials processing and quality insurance. The lab combines additive manufacturing, large scale laser micro-processing, multiscale modelling and AI/ML for the quality monitoring/control, at the end offering to the society novel nanostructured materials, their shape-forming and integration into devices.
