Field of Work
Anders’s research interests include performance enhancement and the miniaturization of sensor systems for applications from various fields ranging from material sciences to Industry 4.0 to biomedical engineering. Among other things, he focuses on making quantum sensors useful for everyday life.
With his work, Anders wants to make quantum technologies – in particular quantum sensor technology – usable in everyday life. For example, Anders’s group has developed the world’s first portable electron spin resonance spectrometer. This is expected to fundamentally change the detection of free radicals. Free radicals play a central role in many application areas and can often be measured only via surrogate parameters. The interplay of free radicals and antioxidants directly determines a person’s state of health. In the semiconductor industry, free radicals determine the quality of new energy materials used in modern solar cells.
The research objective is to develop high-precision quantum sensors through basic research with colleagues from the “Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology” (IQST) as well as in close cooperation with industrial partners.
