Research Areas

Prof. Nießner’s (b. 1951) research field is analytical chemistry. His aim is to implement analytical verification procedures from idea to practicable prototype. His latest work revolves around developing microarray-based procedures and their highly parallel reading with autonomous platforms. He has worked on the development of highly-selective antibodies against highly toxic substances, which are in use worldwide. In the area of lasers, photoacoustic spectroscopy is increasingly being used around the world in modern waste gas monitoring.
