Marc Brecht

Prof. Marc Brecht is a faculty member at Reutlingen University, serving as Vice-Dean for Studies and Programme Director of the Bachelor Biomechatronics programme. He is affiliated with the School of Life Sciences and leads the Process Analysis & Technology research group. His academic focus lies in experimental physics and high-resolution spectroscopic methods, particularly applied to biomedical and materials science challenges.

His research emphasizes advanced spectroscopic techniques like UV hyperspectral imaging, Raman spectroscopy, and SERS (Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) for applications in cancer diagnostics, material characterization (e.g., copper substrates, cotton fibers), and drug delivery (e.g., hypericin studies).

Recent work includes developing workflows for tumor tissue identification using Raman spectroscopy and improving quality control in industrial materials via hyperspectral analysis. Collaborations span multidisciplinary teams in physics, chemistry, and biomedical engineering. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, but his extensive publication record reflects active research engagement.
