Andreas Aigner

Dr. rer. nat., M.Sc. (Physics)

Andreas Aigner applies his scientific expertise in physics, semiconductor technology, electrical engineering, and photonics across patent prosecution and opposition proceedings, as well as infringement and revocation actions.

Andreas holds a PhD (summa cum laude) on the topic of nanophotonics from LMU Munich. Years of hands-on cleanroom work have given him both a thorough grasp of semiconductor and nanofabrication and a sharp eye for the essence of complex technical problems. His career has taken him to the National University of Singapore, on research visits to the U.S., and into the semiconductor industry.

As lead author of articles in journals such as Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, and Science Advances, he has shown a clear talent for identifying the inventive core of a technology and communicating it convincingly.
 

In nanofabrication, every detail matters. The same precision drives my work: to understand a technology inside out and deliver the argument that makes the difference.
