LehMoSense GmbH develops innovative, environmentally friendly and sustainable photoluminescent materials for application in security inks, LED lighting and bio-sensing.

Development of a non-invasive fluorescence-based tear glucose sensor to be integrated on a Smartphone. Glucose in tears is correlated with blood glucose. The success of this project will therefore solve the problem of painful finger pricking to obtain blood samples needed in most of the current blood glucose sensors used by diabetic patients.

Fibre Optics Instrumentations and applications of the Photon Density Wave Spectroscopy in nanoparticle sizing and in bio/chemical process analysis.

Laser micromachining of glass materials to create microchannels and holes. Laser deposition of noble metals nanoparticles into the microchannels for surface enhanced Ramam scpectroscopy utilized in the detection of low concentrtion analytes.

The existence of (macro)molecules having different sizes and architectures in constrained environment is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and in industrial applications. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is the central theme in most studies of confined glass formers. In this theses, effects of nanoscale confinement on the molecular structure and dynamics of glass-forming systems are investigated. The probe molecules were constraint either in one or two- dimensional geometrical constraints and studied u
