Project manager of the Clinical audits in radiology project
Federal Office of Public Health, Bern, Switzerland
The aim of this project is to guarantee the optimal
use of ionising radiation for patients in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine
and radiotherapy. This is the case when the benefits associated to the use of
such radiations are higher than the risks.

Scientific project manager
of EU "Boron Nitride Nanomesh as a scaffold for Nanocatalysts and Functional Surfaces" NanoMesh
project
University of Zurich, Switzerland
The nanomesh forms a uniform layer composed of boron and nitride atoms on Rh and Ru.
During the project its precise structure could be revealed, as well as its ability to trap
molecules and metallic clusters. Therefore applications in biosensors, nanocatalysis and
spintronics are foreseen.
Responsible for the project controlling and closing
Responsible for the internal and external communication
Organised an international scientific workshop, sept. 2006
Established activity and financial reports for the EU
Monitored the project finances at the Univ. of Zurich
Built up the dynamical project website www.nanomesh.ch
14 publications in scientific journals

Postdoctoral research: Study of lipid membranes using a NanoSIMS50
Stanford University, California, USA
The cell membrane is mainly constituted of lipids, which may control the transport
of molecules through it. The study
of lateral organization of lipids is usually performed with fluorescence microscopy,
which introduces fluorophores that can alter the behavior of the membrane
components.
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) performed with a NanoSIMS 50 instrument provides
very high lateral resolution and sensitivity and avoids the use of labels.
We demonstrate for the first time that supported
lipid bilayers can be analyzed with this very promising technique.
Pioneered a novel approach to characterize cell membrane mimics with a lateral resolution of 100nm
Defined, planned, executed and supervised the research project (expanded
into a multi-person effort)
Established collaboration with the Laurence Livermore National Laboratory, USA
Publication of an article in Science based on my development effort

Postdoctoral research: Rheology of colloidal systems analyzed by Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM)
University of Fribourg, Switzerland
Colloids are very finely divided solid particles, which will not settle out
of a solution and whose interactions influence a large variety of technological processes
in paints, food, ceramics, environment,...
Using our home-built Quartz Crystal Microbalance, the viscoelastic properties of
colloidal suspensions have been studied during gelification processes.
Applied the QCM to follow gelification of solutions
Established collaboration with a rheological research group

PhD work: Protein and cell adsorption: topographical
dependency and adlayer viscoelastic properties determined by oscillation amplitude of
quartz resonator
University of Fribourg, Switzerland
The biocompatibility of materials in implant or biosensor fields strongly depends on first
interactions occurring between a given surface and a biological environment. It can be
influenced by modifying the surface properties.
I demonstrated that the topography at the nanometer scale can be an important
parameter for protein adsorption. In addition the viscoelastic properties of adsorbing
cells have been measured with a new Quartz Crystal Microbalance.
Designed and produced a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM)
with new analysis abilities and mass sensitivity of 9ng/cm2
8 scientific publications, more than 100 citations
Supervised physics practical work and exercises
