Dr.-Ing. Abbas Madani, born 22nd March 1982 in Tehran, Iran, received his doctoral degree on 16th February 2017 from the Chemnitz University of Technology in recognition of his thesis, which he carried out at the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences, IFW Dresden, Germany. His dissertation is entitled ‘’Titanium Dioxide Based Microtubular Cavities for On-Chip Integration“. His Ph.D. dissertation research focused on ‘’monolithically integrated rolled-up microcavities with nanophotonic waveguides for 3D photonic integration as well as for optofluidic applications’’.  More specifically, this research developed methods for the realization of massively parallel Optofluidic microsystems with more functionality and flexibility for analysis of biomaterials in lab-on-a-tube systems on single chips. His Ph.D. research resulted in a big milestone towards 3D photonic integration. He got his B.S.c from Kharazmi University, and received his M.S.c  from the Shahid Behesti University. In his master thesis, I worked on fabrication and characterization of all-polymeric ring resonators. In this context, we were able to make a homemade laser beam direct write lithography setup for this project. He also graduated with the greatest distinction at the Laser and Plasma Research Institute of Shahid Beheshti University of Technology (Tehran-Iran). Now Abbas is the post-doctoral research scientist for the integrative nanoscience institute at the IFW Dresden, Germany.
