Jochen Kieninger

Dr. Jochen Kieninger is a Researcher at the University of Freiburg's Faculty of Engineering, currently affiliated with the Chair of Electrical Measurement Technology and Embedded Systems led by Prof. Rupitsch. He holds a Dr.-Ing. in Microsystems Engineering from the University of Freiburg. His career includes roles as a research assistant, research group leader, and Senior Academic Councilor, with notable stints at the Chair of Sensors and the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS).

His research focuses on electrochemical sensors, biosensors, and microsensor systems for biomedical engineering and neurotechnology. Key areas include metabolic monitoring in cell cultures and organ-on-chip systems, electrochemical methods for MEMS applications, and microtechnology fabrication (e.g., dry resists, electroplating). He teaches courses like Electrochemical Methods for Engineers and BioMEMS, and authored the textbook Electrochemical Methods for the Micro- and Nanoscale.

Recent publications span innovations in sensor design for environmental monitoring (e.g., glyphosate detection), neuroimplant stability, and IoT-enabled potentiostats like FreiStat. His work bridges microfabrication, biomedical applications, and renewable energy systems.
