Biography

Frans Harren focuses on reliable sensing of minute quantities of trace gases in complicated gas mixtures. His research group specializes in the development and application of trace gas detection methods utilizing lasers and mass spectrometers. Key techniques include laser spectroscopic methods such as photoacoustic spectroscopy, frequency modulation spectroscopy, cavity enhanced spectroscopy, and Dual Frequency Comb-Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. Additionally, Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry is employed to detect larger Volatile Organic Compounds in the atmosphere. The group's emphasis is on state-of-the-art detection of gases and volatiles at sub-part per billion (volume) concentrations, prioritizing non-invasive, high selectivity, and real-time measurement applications, particularly in Life Science contexts.
