Young Engineer Luisa Schrempf Makes Groundbreaking Discoveries in Nanotechnology and Physics

Postgraduate student Luisa Schrempf, a promising young engineer, has recently made significant strides in the fields of nanotechnology and physics. Currently completing her MSc Nanotechnology degree at UCL, Luisa was previously awarded a BSc (Hons) in Physics from Edinburgh University.

Her remarkable achievements include groundbreaking work in her MSc thesis focused on ‘Characterisation and Modelling of Resistive Switching in Silicon Oxide Memristors’. Collaborating with the startup Intrinsic, Luisa discovered an unknown operating regime in these devices, expanding their potential utility in various applications.

During her undergraduate studies, Luisa engaged in innovative research on the self-assembly of conductive particles in nematic liquid crystals, showcasing the potential applications in EV batteries and conductive inks.

Aside from her academic pursuits, Luisa played a pivotal role as the Head of Propulsion at Edinburgh University’s Hyperloop society, where her team developed designs for the innovative Linear Induction Motors propulsion system.

Stewart Edmondson, CEO of the UK Electronics Skills Foundation, commended Luisa’s exceptional contributions, particularly in her novel discoveries related to Silicon Oxide Memristors and her research on liquid crystals.

Luisa has also been actively involved in mentoring and promoting STEM careers to young female students, offering online physics tutoring to high school girls while advocating for student rights during her time at UCL.

Her passion for bridging the gender gap in STEM fields and her dedication to community engagement reflect her commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and empowering the next generation of engineers.
