Short description (English)

Design of a robust oxygen sensor for clinical applications, using the effect of dynamic fluorescence quenching.

Abstract (German)

For the treatment of traumatic brain injuries it is essential to monitor the intra-cranial pressure and the oxygen concentration. The main goal of this project is to design a robust oxygen sensor, based on the effect of dynamic fluorescence quenching. The starting point is an existing, non-optimal design and the main tools to be used are the Finite Element Method and calibrating measurements.
