Ann-Kathrin Klein

Ann-Kathrin Klein is a Researcher at the Institute of Microtechnology within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technical University of Braunschweig, where she has been employed since 2019.

Education:

• B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Technical University of Braunschweig (2012-2019)

Her research focuses on developing microsystems for biomedical applications. Her work particularly emphasizes NTR-based pressure sensors for medical implants using biocompatible materials and the piezoresistive measurement of biomarkers. Her master's thesis involved experimental characterization of a lab-on-a-chip system for detecting antibiotic resistance in E. coli, which laid the foundation for her current PhD research on microsystems for biomarker detection.

Ms. Klein coordinates double degree programs at the university, contributing to international academic collaboration and student exchange initiatives. Her work bridges engineering principles with medical applications, focusing on creating innovative diagnostic solutions for healthcare challenges.
