The aim of my research is to implement new ways for sensitive, real-time optical analytics of gases and liquids. The application of novel light sources, such as mid-infrared semiconductor lasers and supercontinuum light sources, allow for new approaches in industrial pollution monitoring, environmental analysis and life science analytics.
The LiSens2012 seminar in November on liquid sensing was a great sucess. Thank you to all the participants!
