Academic Career and Research Areas

Prof. Becherer (*1976) researches magnetic components for spin-based signal processing and sensing. One focus is on ferro and ferrimagnetic materials, their nanoscale patterning, and electrical and optical characterization. The methods developed can precisely adjust material properties and open up digital, analog, and neuromorphic signal processing applications.

After completing vocational training at the Sick AG, Professor Becherer studied electrical engineering and information technology at TUM. He graduated as Dr.-Ing. 2011 at TUM and habilitated in 2017. From 2017 to 2020, he was provisional head of the Chair of Nanoelectronics. During this time, he took over the management of ZEITlab, the Central Electronics and Information Technology Laboratory of the SoCIT. Professor Becherer was appointed to the ‘Chip-based Magnetic Sensor Technology’ professorship in June 2024.
