Thermal and Polarization Sensing
The research group Thermal and Polarization Sensors focuses on the exploration and development of measurement methods using infrared (IR) radiation and polarization effects. This involves combining research on materials and measurement methods, which form the basis for customized thermoelectric and bioimpedance sensors.
Thermoelectric Sensors
Research Topics
- Thermoelectric sensor systems with higher linearity and sensitivity
- Applications in environmental, health, and medical fields, as well as space exploration
- Space missions (ROSETTA, MSL, BepiColombo, Hayabusa II, InSight, Mars 2020)
- Pyrometry, NDIR, and dispersive spectroscopy from VIS to IR to THz
- Development of dedicated measurement systems aimed at on-site applications
- Biochemical and nanoscale characterization of surfaces using photo-induced atomic force microscopy related to biomedical questions
- Counting biological species in a solution using impedance measurements
