MY RESEARCH

My main research interest is to use advanced sensing tools to answer questions in biological, environmental and medical research. Either I use available sensors to address biological questions, or if the needed tools are not available, I develop them. 

EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH PROJECTS

From soil to marine biofilms, bacteria drive the cycling of nutrients in the environment. The chemical conditions present determine the processes. With optical sensors I can make those chemical conditions visible in 2D. 

IMPORTANT METHODS AND RESULTS

I work on developing and using both optical and electrochemical sensors. A main difference to other labs around the world is that we develop sensors to be functional in complex natural environments and to sense at a high spatial (<100µm) and temporal (<5sec) resolution.  

COLLABORATION

As a trained chemist working at a Biology department, I collaborate across disciplines every day. I have a strong national and international research network.
