Multidisciplinary researcher advancing nanoscale design and applications
Group Leader & Scientific Researcher at Universität Paderborn, working at the intersection of plasmonics, 3D printing, and biosensing. I focus on wafer-scalable fabrication, 3D-printed multi-material architectures, and brain-mimic biosensors for healthcare, environmental, and agri-food applications. My goal is to translate nanoscale design principles into scalable, sustainable, and intelligent systems through interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
