Biophotonics and optofluidics
Our research goals span the fields of optical spectroscopy (Raman microspectroscopy), optical micromanipulation (optical tweezers/Raman tweezers), fluid handling at micron scale, microfluidic systems and mathematical data processing/statistical methods. Moreover, the members of the team have long-term experience with Raman spectroscopy of microbial cells in identifying different microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, algae and micro-fungi), in the research on biofilms formation and in the action of antimicrobial chemicals on microorganisms/biofilms.
