Mission and Aims

Technology development for sustainable and innovative plant production and bioeconomy

Our focus is on the development and application of non-invasive technologies that enable in-depth as well as high throughput measurements of plant traits.

In our group, with currently about 20 members, we cover different disciplines: biology, physics, computer science and engineering. This interdisciplinary approach allows us to efficiently use a wide range of technologies for trait discovery in plant sciences. In this way we aim to contribute to the sustainable intensification of plant production.
