DESCRIPTION:Prof. Klaus Ensslin\, Physics Department\, ETH Zürich\nBio: K
 laus Ensslin has been Professor of Solid-State Physics at ETH Zurich since
  October 1995.\nKlaus Ensslin studied physics at the University of Munich 
 and at ETH Zurich. After completing his doctoral dissertation at the Max P
 lanck Institute in Stuttgart\, he was a postdoc at the University of Calif
 ornia in Santa Barbara\, USA. From April 1991 until September 1995 he work
 ed at the University of Munich. His habilitation thesis was awarded a priz
 e from the University of Munich. In 1995 he received the Gerhard Hess priz
 e of the German Science Foundation promoting outstanding young researchers
 .\nThe primary research interest of Klaus Ensslin lies in the physics of m
 esoscopic systems. The electronic properties of novel semiconductor nanost
 ructures are investigated using material control down to the atomic scale.
  One important goal is the ever increasing control and improved understand
 ing of the quantum properties of electrons in nanostructures.\nGraphene ca
 n be patterned into quantum devices using electron beam lithography and dr
 y etching. This way high quality constrictions\, quantum dots and combinat
 ions thereof can be realized.\nIn this talk I will present the latest resu
 lts focusing on the present challenges and prospects which graphene and gr
 aphene-BN heterostructures offer in view of semiconductor alternatives.
