Dr. Bernhard Wolfrum

Biography

Professor Wolfrum focuses on neuro-bioelectronics, developing electrochemical sensor arrays and interfaces for mapping chemical cues and stimulating signals in cellular networks. His goal is to establish neuroelectronic hybrid systems on-chip for applications in neuroscience and bioelectronic medicine. To achieve this, he employs techniques such as microfabrication, inkjet-printed electronics, 3D printing, and microfluidic cell culture methods. He studied physics at the University of Göttingen and the University of California, Santa Barbara, obtaining his PhD from the University of Göttingen in 2004. Afterward, he carried out postdoctoral research at the Institute of Bio and Nanosystems at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at the University of Delft. From 2009 to 2015, he led the Helmholtz Young Investigator group at the Peter Grünberg Institute, Forschungszentrum Jülich. He also lectured as a junior professor at RWTH Aachen in 2011 before joining TUM in 2015. In 2017, he conducted research as a visiting associate professor at Tohoku University in Sendai.
