Peter Bøggild is an associate professor, heading the Nanointegration research group at MIC – Department for Micro- and Nanotechnology, at the Technical University of Danmark. He received his Ph.D. degree at Copenhagen University in 1998 in the field of experimental low temperature physics, with the title of the thesis “ Electron Transport in Open Quantum Dots” . Peter Bøggild was employed as Assistant Research Professor at MIC from 1998 to 2001 where he investigated applications for micro-scale four-point probes for measurements in ultra-high vacuum, on self-assembled polymeric monolayers and on metallic thin films. From 2001 he was appointed associate professor and since then built a research group concerned with development of new nanoscale tools for manipulation and characterization of nanostructures as well as generic methods for connecting molecular nanocomponents such as carbon nanotubes with microsystems. Recently, the focus areas are 1) parallel integration (wafer-scale) methods such as in-situ growth of nanocomponents directly in Microsystems, or self-assembly using electrostatic fields. 2) automated nanorobotic manipulation systems for prototyping of nanodevices and 3) integration of molecular electronics with mass-produced nanocircuitry.

The Nanointegration group at MIC consists of three postdocs, three PhD students and six master students and is headed by Peter Bøggild. The aim of the group is to bridge the gap between conventional microfabrication and nanotechnology, and the group has since 2000 been working with microcantilever probes both for electrical characterisation, manipulation of nanoscale objects and other applications. The group develops a variety of microcantilever probes using standard microfabrication as well as nanofabrication technology.
