Rushmer Lecturer, University of Washington, Seattle, 2017 Academic Qualifications:

I got my PhD degree in Biophysics from the Biology Department of the University of Konstanz with a Thesis on “Ion Translocation across Artificial Lipid Bilayer Membranes”. The Habilitation in Experimental Physics was awarded from the Technical University of Munich, based on a thesis on “Phase Behavior of Mixed Lipid Bilayer Membranes”. During this time in Munich, I spend a post-doc year at IBM in San Jose, working on Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. This started a scientific field that became my major area of expertise: Surface-Plasmon Optics in various formats, however, mostly for biosensing applications. This field defines the core competence of my research group. In addition to the Biophotonics activities I started in Japan a program on Bioelectronics. At that time (in the 1990ies) and then also later in Mainz we focused on the coupling of neurons (primary hippocampal cells, transfected P19 cells, and brain tissue slices) and other excitatory cells like cardiac myocytes to field-effect transistors (fabricated mostly in CMOS technology). Later we started a program on Electronic Biosensing, based on organic FETs. And then in Singapore we began to work mostly with graphene-based FETs and their application for sensing with antibodies, aptamers, for food toxin detection and, as a particular effort, recently for smell sensing which is growing into a major effort in my group. After a few years in Mainz at the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) as an Associate Professor with a joint appointment at the University of Mainz, I followed in 1991 a call to become the Head of the Laboratory for Exotic Nanomaterials at RIKEN in Tokyo, Japan; a program that I was directing until 1999. In 1993, I was then furthermore appointed Director at the MPI-P with a mandate to establish the Materials Science Department. From 1999 to 2003 I was appointed Temasek Professor at the National University of Singapore with a mandate for setting up and running a laboratory on polymer science, followed by two terms as a Visiting Scientist at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, an A-Star operation in Singapore, before founding and running with my colleague Prof. Bo Liedberg from Sweden the Center for Biomimetic Sensor Science at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. From 2008 until today, I’m co-managing as the scientific director the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna, Austria’s largest non-university research institute with more than 1260 members. The institute with its Centers on Energy, Mobility Systems, Digital Safety and Security, Health and Bioresources, Low-Emission Transport, Vision, Automation, and Control, Technology Experience, and Innovation Systems & Policy, covers a broad range of activities; however, I kept running a small research group of PhD students and postdocs

working with me on optical biosensing with surface-plasmons and guided optical waves, as well as, on bioelectronic sensing based on field-effect transistor devices. Academic Teaching Experience: During my time in Mainz (1987-2008) I was regularly teaching at the University of Mainz a 3 semester course on “Membrane Biophysics” which was attended by physics, chemistry and biology students and was part of a Master in Biophysics program. Furthermore, I taught courses on “Polymers and Light”, “Electrochemistry and Nanosciences”, and “Thin Functional Films”. From 2003 – 2008 once a year in Venice, I was teaching a course on “Processing of Thin Films” within a Master Program on Nanotechnology. And finally over the years, I was teaching courses at Stanford University, California, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea, the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, Twente University, the Netherlands, and at the University of Erlangen, Germany. Publications and Research Activity Impact: So far, I published more than 850 original papers that were cited more than 41.000 times and earned me an h-factor of 105 (Google Scholar). A list of papers that were published during the past 3 years, and the 20 most cited papers are attached below. Lectures at Intl.

Horiba, Paris, May 29 Nanostrukturierte polymere Hybrid-Materialien: Funktion durch Organisation Montan Universität, Leoben, June 2 Elements of Molecular Sensory Engineering Mat Sci Engineering, NTU, Singapore, June 14 Experience in International Research Projects: Over the years, I was involved in many EU projects; in some as partner, in others as coordinator, e.g., FUSYMEM, 2006-2009, Project ID: 43431: Functional synthetic membranes for GPCR based sensing, or EMBEK1, 2008-2011, Project ID: 211436: Development and analysis of polymer-based multifunctional bactericidal materials. Other

projects with a coordinator from the University of Parma were: DNA TRACK, 2001-2003, Project ID: QLK1-CT-2000-01658: Traceability of DNA fragments throughout the food chain by DNA/PNA technologies, followed by TRACEBACK, 2007-2010, Project ID: 36300: Integrated system for a reliable traceability of food supply chains. And more recently, we collaborate with Prof. Roberto Corradini within a major project: ULTRAPLACAD, 2015-2018, Project ID: 633937: ULTRAsensitive PLAsmonic devices for early CAncer Diagnosis, coordinated by Prof. Giuseppe Spoto from Catania.

Another interesting EU program in which I’m participating is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action: Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE), Call: H2020-MSCA-RISE-2014: HYMADE, 2014-2018: Hybrid drug delivery systems upon mesoporous materials, self-assembled therapeutics and virosomes. Four teams from within Europe (San Sebastian, Paris, Leipzig, and my team from Vienna) exchange young scientists with four groups from outside of Europe: two from Argentina, one colleague from Michigan, and one team from Armenia. So far, we had three PhD students from Argentina for several months each in our group in Vienna; one of them is coming back in September for another 6 months. From 2011-2014, I coordinated a multinational project within the EUROCORES-Program “Bio-inspired Engineering of Sensors, Actuators & Systems” (EuroBioSAS): “Insect Odorant-Binding Proteins on Conductive Polymer Nanofibers Based Biosensor to Diagnose Crop Disease” (NANOIOBIP), funded by the European Science Foundation. Also recently, we started a joint project with two groups from Paris: NANOBIOSENSOR, 2015-2017: Small-sized analytes biosensing on resonant nanostructures, a program on plasmonic nanostructures for IR and Raman spectroscopy, funded by ANR and FWF, respectively. And finally, I should emphasize that I gained a significant level of experience of running major research operations in different international settings by

- directing from 1991-1999 the Laboratory for Exotic Nanomaterials, a team in Tokyo within the Frontier Research Program hosted by RIKEN, the Institute of Chemical and Physical Research in Japan;

- by operating a (small) group from 2002-2012 within the MRSEC on Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies (CPIMA), a NSF funded partnership of Stanford University, UC Davies, and IBM, San Jose, CA;

- operating and directing research groups in Singapore for more than 16 years; - a particular effort, i.e., the setting up and running of a binational joint PhD program

“The International Graduate School IGS “BioNanoTechnology”, a partnership between the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Vienna, and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), also located in Vienna, and NTU, the Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore. So far, a total of 14 PhD students were enrolled in the program on the Austrian side, with 6 on the Singapore side. 15 of them have already finished with a joint degree.
