Prof. Caroline Murawski takes over Chair of Biomedical Sensor Technology

The Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering is pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Caroline Murawski to the Chair of Biomedical Sensor Technology on July 1, 2024.

Professor Murawski is a proven scientist with core research areas in the development of flexible and miniaturized biomedical sensors based on organic semiconductor devices. Her work is highly interdisciplinary and combines electrical engineering and biomedicine with physics and chemistry. In particular, she conducts research into optoelectronic components for the stimulation and detection of neurons using optogenetics and fluorescence imaging. For biological investigations, she mainly uses fruit flies as a model organism for genetics and uses them for measurements in vivo and in vitro.

After scientific stations at TU Dresden (studies and doctorate in physics), the University of St Andrews in Scotland (postdoc) and the Kurt Schwabe Institute for Measurement and Sensor Technology Meinsberg e.V. (Junior Research Group Leader), she will now continue her research at the Institute of Solid State Electronics at TU Dresden. In addition to her scientific work, she is particularly looking forward to teaching on the "Biomedical Engineering" degree program and supervising early-career researchers. She would also like to work to make STEM subjects more attractive and support early-career researchers on their career path.
