About

The group has been at the forefront of the national and international research in the field for several years. The group has a broad portfolio of projects within the field and a strong national and international network. The research in our group focuses on the following areas:

  • advanced vibrational spectroscopy of different biosystems - cells, tissues, and bioliquids
  • developing and optimizing microbial bioprocesses for the production of a wide range of bioproducts
  • understanding and modelling of scattering phenomena of systems in environmental sciences
  • data modelling of spectroscopic data
