Career Trajectory
Bio
Since 2006, I am heading the Bioelectrics Group at the Institute for Pulsed Power and Microwave Technology (IHM), Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). I joined the Institute after having finished my Phd in plasma physics, rather in lasertriggering of railgap switches, in 1996. Initial research topics were surface coating by electron beam ablation and electrodynamic fragmentation for material recycling. I had a research sabatical at the Frank Reidy Research Center for Bioelectrics, Norfolk, VA, which excited me for the research topic of interaction of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) with biological matter. Several years I spent on transmembrane voltage measurement at the nanosecond timescale using fast voltage sensitive dyes in basic research and on bacterial inactivation by PEF-treatment in applied research. I turned into microalgae downstream processing in 2009 and demonstrated real cascade processing of microalgae biomass by PEF-treatment, which was a significant step forward for microalgae processing at that time. I had a lot of research exchange and networking activity through the COST Activity "EP4Bio2Med" where I lead the WG4 on biomass processing from 2012 on. In parallel we had some exciting projects on industrial scale PEF-treatment for bacterial decontamination of hospital wastewater, bacterial inactivation of electrocoating paints and finished a EU-demonstration project on microalgae processing for biofertilizer and aquafeed production. These projects supplemented our basic and applied R&D tasks within the Helmholtz programmes "Renewable Energies" and "Resource and Energy Efficiency". There is still a lot to do in processing of microbial biomass. Working on efficiency improvements for PEF-assisted lipid and protein recovery for sure will keep us busy in future.
