Prof. Dr. Martin Wolf

Prof. Dr. Martin Wolf received his M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich Switzerland in 1990. His focus was on biomedical and power engineering.

During his Ph. D. (ETH 1997) he specialized in biomedical optics, i.e. near infrared spectroscopy to investigate tissue oxygenation. As a postdoctoral research associate he worked at the Division for Neonatology, University Hospital Zurich until 1999, when he joined the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He developed imaging methods to non-invasively study hemodynamics and oxygenation of the brain and muscle.
 

Since 2002 he heads the Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory at the Division of Neonatology, University Hospital Zurich, where he currently expands the research in biomedical optics to many clinical fields.

In 2004 he became lecturer of the University Zurich and in 2013 Professor ad personam. He is associated professor to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETHZ and member of the Neuroscience and Biomedicine graduate school at the faculty of Science at the University of Zurich. Since 2023 he also is expert at Innosuisse.
