Clemens Kaminski

Professor Clemens Kaminski is affiliated with the University of Cambridge as Professor of Chemical Physics in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. He serves as the Head of Department and directs the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Sensor Technologies and Applications.

His research focuses on advanced imaging techniques to study biological processes at molecular scales, particularly super-resolution microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging, and machine learning-assisted imaging. Collaborations span medics, biologists, physicists, and engineers, targeting mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Key technologies developed in his group include Laser Analytics tools for in vivo imaging, self-supervised spike sorting algorithms for neuronal activity analysis, and portable microscopy platforms. Publications emphasize high-resolution imaging, pathogen detection, and cellular thermogenesis in disease contexts.

He leads the Laser Analytics Group and maintains active collaborations with Professor Gabriele Kaminski Schierle (Molecular Neuroscience Group) and other interdisciplinary teams. His work integrates optical engineering, biomolecular analysis, and computational methods to address challenges in neurodegeneration and pathogen imaging.
