Dr. Daniel Blaschke studied physics at the University of Leipzig, Germany. He received his diploma degree in 2010 and continued working on his scientific carrier as a PhD student at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany, in the group of Prof. Dr. Sibylle Gemming. During his PhD, he was working on HfO2 and TiO2 thin films in terms of memristive applications. Since 2017, he is working as a scientist at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in the quantum detection group of Prof. Dr. Heidemarie Schmidt, Jena, Germany. His work is mainly focused on Photo-induce force microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy of organic materials as well as on impedance spectroscopy to determine the concentration and viability of different bacteria in liquid media by using a silicon-based biosensor.
