Bachelor Thesis: Graphene Photodetector Characterization by Lab Automatization
For my Bachelor thesis, I developed a lab automation system for the characterization of graphene-based photodetector chips. The main task was to automate the precise positioning of a laser on each chip using a hardware positioning arm, controlled via MATLAB and Windows automation. This enabled fully automated, high-throughput measurements by integrating MATLAB-based lab software with external hardware control, significantly reducing measurement time (up to 5× faster) and improving reproducibility.
