Applied Physics Seminar

Photonics for medical diagnostics

Andreas Seifert, Professor for Nanoengineering,

Speaker's Bio:
Graduated in physics - PhD on electron beam-induced emission of X-rays, University of Freiburg, Germany - > 9 years in leadership positions in optical industry at Carl Zeiss, Germany o responsible for x-ray optics for space and synchrotron applications o responsible for the technological development of EUV (extreme ultraviolett) lithography systems - 2007 – 2015 Group leader in the Department of Microsystems Engineering, University of Freiburg, Germany o optical & biomedical nano/microsystems o cardiovascular monitoring o biomechanics of vascular system o optical microsystems for minimally invasive multimodal diagnostics - Since 2015 Research Professor and Group Leader in Nanoengineering at CIC nanoGUNE, San Sebastián, Spain o Photonics, plasmonics, optical systems for medical diagnostics - Most important awards o Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize o Carl Zeiss Innovation Award

The talk focuses on different photonic methods in the field of medical diagnostics. I'm going to give an overview about different research lines of the Nanoengineering Group at nanoGUNE and about the potential and significance of the methods. In particular, I am addressing - implantable microsystems for cardiovascular monitoring and the understanding of the biomechanics of the vascular system - Multimodal optical microsystems for endoscopic applications - Detection of biomarkers/proteins by plasmonic methods - Early detection of Alzheimers by combined Raman/FTIR methods
