P9134601.jpg

Principle Investigator

Caroline obtained her PhD in physics from Technische Universität Dresden in 2015, working on high-brightness organic LEDs. She was a postdoctoral fellow and Marie Skłodowska Curie fellow at University of St Andrews, UK, before starting her group at KSI Meinsberg in November 2018. In 2023, she became a TUD young investigator. In July 2024, she got appointed at TUD as full professor and chair for Biomedical Sensor Technology.
