Assoc.Prof. Torsten Mayr

  • Application and integration of optical sensors in microfluidics. 
 

Assoc.Prof.kand. Sergey Borisov

  • Indicator synthesis for optical chemical sensors. 
 

Bernhard Müller

  • Optical Imaging of Concrete Materials: Application and synthesis of luminescent pH sensitive dyes with high pKa values as well as chloride sensitive dyes for monitoring of degradation processes of concrete materials. 
 
   
 

Andreas Matijevic

  • Synthesis and Characterisation of Optical Trace Ammonia Sensors and Luminescence Based CO2 Sensors: Design, synthesis and characterisation of asymmetric BF2-chelated tetraarylazadipyrromethene (azaBODIPY) dyes for environmental monitoring of trace amounts of ammonia in waters and application as CO2 sensors in Organ-On-Chip (OoC) systems.
 

Iga Malicka

  • Label-free Optical Immunosensor for Biomarker Detection: Development of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer based platform for the detection of clinically relevant biomarkers, e.g. proinflammatory cytokines. Investigation of: various antibody immobilization techniques, methods of unspecific adsorption reduction and the binding efficiency of biomarkers.
 

Lisa Eiber

  • Synthesis of luminescent dyes with (sub)microsecond decay times and their application in a new generation of optical sensing materials: Design, synthesis and characterization of organic and metal-organic indicator dyes, showing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) with (sub)-microsecond lifetimes. Application as pH, O2 and temperature sensitive probes for fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM).
 

Theresa Mautz

  • (Surface-Anchored) Metal-Organic Frameworks for Oxygen Sensing: Design, synthesis, and characterization of porphyrin-based dyes as organic building blocks for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Design and characterization of MOF-based systems for optical oxygen sensing.
