Research Overview

Our research focuses on novel optical spectroscopic laser measurement techniques for personalised medicine and therapy monitoring. We develop optical microscopy and imaging techniques in combination with molecule-specific, label-free spectroscopic methods, e.g. to analyse processes in cells, disease markers and active substances directly and without invasive procedures. In addition, we are working on the design of novel photonic amplification techniques and the development of miniaturised, flexible sensor systems for use at the point of care for personalised theranostics.

We are involved in the Research Field Matter and Materials (opens in new tab) and in the Centre for Synthetic Biology (opens in new tab) of TU Darmstadt.

We are looking forward meeting you at UV and Higher Energy Photonics: From Materials to Applications 2024 (OP107 (opens in new tab) ) at SPIE Optics + Photonics 2024 (opens in new tab) – the leading multidisciplinary optical sciences and technology meeting.

We are looking forward meeting you at Applied Industrial Spectroscopy (opens in new tab) as part of Optica Sensing Congress (opens in new tab) – the forum to facilitate reporting the latest optical-based sensor advances.
