The Carinthiacus International is an award given to people who have their roots outside of Austria but live and work on outstanding projects in Carinthia. The submitted projects are selected for being innovative, sustainable, future-oriented and for their connections to the economy, education and/or quality of life in Carinthia.
Nastaran's research focus is to develop piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin films for MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) applications, which are integral to tiny sensors and actuators used in everyday devices like smartphones. She works on lead-free alternatives such as Aluminum Nitride and Aluminum Scandium Nitride, contributing to sustainable technology development. These materials enable the creation of efficient and durable MEMS devices used across various sectors, including telecommunications, healthcare, and the automotive industry. Her research supports the regional economy by enhancing collaborations with Carinthian companies, driving innovative solutions that improve energy efficiency and resource conservation.
