Klaus Suhling

Professor Klaus Suhling is a Professor of Physics at King's College London, affiliated with the Department of Physics and specializing in Biological Physics & Soft Matter. His research focuses on advanced fluorescence imaging techniques such as Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM), time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy imaging (tr-FAIM), and photon counting methodologies. He leads projects involving TCSPC (Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting) technologies, molecular rotor analysis, and nanoparticle imaging in biological systems. Suhling holds a PhD in Pulse Fluorometry from the University of Strathclyde (1994).

**Research Interests:**

• Development of FLIM and tr-FAIM for biological applications
• Photon counting imaging with SPAD arrays and electron-bombarded CCDs
• Biophysical studies of cytoplasmic viscosity and membrane dynamics
• Applications in art conservation, drug delivery, and photosynthesis

His work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in advancing healthcare and environmental sustainability through imaging technologies. Suhling has secured funding from EPSRC, STFC, and industry partners, including Photek Ltd. He actively collaborates internationally, presenting at conferences such as the European Society for Photobiology meetings and the University of Melbourne.

**Grants & Projects:**

• UKRI CoA: Development of wide-field TCSPC fluorescence microscopy (EPSRC, 2021)
• A Path to Superconducting Nanowire Readout of Xe-based detectors (STFC, 2023)

His lab develops cutting-edge imaging tools for applications ranging from cellular membrane studies to art conservation, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration.
