Our group works on molecular sensing integrating concepts of chemistry, physics and engineering. We offer a unique bouquet of fundamental and applied research on sensor technologies to respond to societal needs.
We develop wearable tools based on our sensing concepts that enable the detection of critical biomarkers from breath or interstitial fluid minimally invasive at the point-of-care.
Ranging from air quality monitoring, over the detection of contaminants in food, to the safe handling of green fuels, our lab develops tools to detect and quantify critical molecules at trace-level concentrations.
Our PhD student, Simon Schlapansky, and master’s student, Federico Burisch, recently represented the Human-centered Sensing Lab at the 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Milan. They had the exciting opportunity to present our lab's research on developing non-invasive health monitoring tools using wearable sensors to monitor the health status of astronauts.
