Carsten Hartmann

Senior Scientist

Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ)

Carsten Hartmann studied materials science in Jena (Thuringia, Germany) and completed his doctorate at the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) in collaboration with the BTU Cottbus on the topic of “Aluminum nitride volume crystal growth using physical gas phase transport” in 2013. He subsequently remained at the IKZ as a postdoc and senior scientist. As part of priority consortia of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, particularly ”Advanced UV for Life”, he developed a superior bulk AlN crystal growth process that is now on the way to commercialization.
