Prof. Dr. Bernhard Wolfrum

Professorship

Neuroelectronics

Academic Career and Research Areas

The research of Professor Wolfrum focuses on neuro- and bioelectronics. In particular, he develops electrochemical sensor arrays and interfaces for mapping chemical cues and stimulating signals in cellular networks. His goal is to establish neuroelectronic hybrids and systems for on-chip neuroscience as well as bioelectronic medicine. To this end, he employs microfabrication techniques, inkjet-printed electronics, 3D printing, and microfluidic cell culture methods.

Professor Wolfrum studied physics in Göttingen and Santa Barbara (UCSB) before obtaining his PhD at the University of Göttingen in 2004. He afterwards conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute of Bio and Nanosystems, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, University of Delft. From 2009 until 2015, he led a Helmholtz Young Investigator group at the Peter Grünberg Institute, Forschungszentrum Jülich. He lectured as a junior professor at RWTH Aachen from 2011 until starting at TUM in 2015. In 2017, he conducted research as a visiting associate professor at Tohoku University in Sendai.
