Embedded at ETH Zürich and closely connected to the University Hospital Zürich, our lab features a unique bouquet of fundamental and applied research on sensor technologies to respond to our society’s needs. We profess on the interdisciplinary education of students in chemical, mechanical and biomedical engineering. 

The research of the Human-​centered Sensing Laboratory centers around physics, chemistry and medicine to gain new fundamental understanding in micro/nanosystems for transducers to advance their fabrication and application in chemical sensing. The development of new technologies from conceptuation to devices with validated performance under real conditions tackling healthcare and environmental issues are a particular emphasis. 

Research focus:

• Micro-​ and nanoscaled systems
• Surface phenomena and molecular transport
• Gas sensing and signal processing
• Volatolomics
