About
Dr. Julia Kastner is a pioneer in the intersection of additive manufacturing and nanofabrication, whose work is redefining the limits of functional surface patterning. Her research centers on the ambitious goal of merging nanoimprint lithography with inkjet printing to create precise nanopatterns on arbitrary, non-planar surfaces—a challenge that has long stymied the field. In her seminal 2017 paper, "Function follows form: combining nanoimprint and inkjet printing," Dr. Kastner laid the technical groundwork for this hybrid approach, demonstrating how to deposit functional materials with nanoscale accuracy onto curved substrates. While her citation count (2) reflects the niche, foundational nature of this work, its impact is measured by the new avenues it opens for advanced optics, flexible electronics, and biomedical devices. By proving that "function follows form," she has provided a roadmap for integrating nanoscale precision with the design freedom of 3D printing. Dr. Kastner’s contributions are essential reading for any researcher seeking to break free from flat surfaces and bring nanofabrication into the third dimension.
