TNW-ANP-IOS

Postdoctoral Researcher;Ā currently focused on developing an integrated optical biosensor capable of detecting multiple sepsis-related biomarkers simultaneously. The chip design features multiple microring resonators on a single bus waveguide, with the device incorporating auto-alignment for light input/output and a disposable cartridge system for blood sample introduction.

Former PhD Candidate; completed PhD at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, Bioelectronics Group, University of Twente, specializing in nanoscale, high-frequency electrochemical biosensors. Conducted proof-of-concept research on a chip by NXP Semiconductors, focusing on its biosensing application as massively parallelized nanoelectrodes as individually addressable impedimetric sensors, gaining extensive expertise in biosensor development, team leadership, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Experienced in electronics, electrochemistry, microfabrication, and cell culture techniques.
