Andreas Jechow

Prof. Dr. Andreas Jechow is a Professor at the Brandenburg University of Technology, Department of Technology, specializing in Fundamentals of Ophthalmic Optics and Optical Instrument Technology (since 2023). He currently serves as Head of AOG & Photonics (since 2025) and was Dean of Photonics Studies (2023–2025). Prior to this, he was a Scientist at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (2015–2023).

Education:

• Doctorate, University of Potsdam (2006–2009)
• M.Sc. Photonics, TH Brandenburg (2004–2006)

Research Interests: His work bridges optical engineering and environmental science, focusing on ophthalmic optics, photonics instrumentation, and ecological impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN). Key areas include light pollution effects on aquatic ecosystems, remote sensing for water quality, and developing optical tools for environmental monitoring.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2024–2025) emphasize light pollution ecology, remote sensing methodologies, and conservation technology. Dominant themes include ALAN impacts on biodiversity (fish, insects, corals), skyglow measurement innovations, and sustainable lighting solutions.

Scientific Awards: None reported.

Labs & Teams: Leads research at Brandenburg University of Technology; previously contributed to interdisciplinary projects at the Leibniz Institute, focusing on freshwater ecology and optical applications.
