Revolutionizing In-home Breath Profiling with Smart Sensor Innovation

I am a physicist and engineer driven by a fascination for harnessing light as a diagnostic tool. My research integrates applied optics, materials engineering, and bio-chemical sensing to develop fiber-integrated nano-sensor systems for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and agro-food safety.

I currently lead an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation–funded project on Lab-on-Fiber systems for on-site breath analysis, enabling personalized monitoring of breath volatile organic compounds for respiratory health management.
