Vinzenz Frauchiger, Ph.D. student, is a Research Assistant and Graduate Student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. After graduating as a materials engineer he joined the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology in 1999. The subject of his thesis is the modification of titanium implant surfaces by anodic plasmachemical treatment in aqueous electrolyte solutions. The aim of his project is to combine desired surface topographies with appropriate surface chemical compositions for the surface functionalization of medical titanium implants.
