• NMR - Structure determination
• Cultural Heritage Dating

Portmann's research centers on compound-specific radiocarbon (14C) analysis (CSRA) of natural organic dyes and pigments. His studies address challenges in dating complex cultural heritage artefacts through interdisciplinary approaches, targeting anthraquinone-derived red dyes in historical textiles.

His publications highlight collaborations between Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences (FHNW, HES-SO, ZHAW) and advancements in analytical platforms. While no specific awards or student advisement details are mentioned, his work represents cutting-edge applications of chemistry in heritage science.
