Patrick Rennhofer

Patrick Rennhofer is a Researcher at the Institute of Bioanalytics and Agro-Metabolomics under the Department of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on mycotoxin analysis in agricultural products using advanced spectroscopic techniques and chemometric data processing.

His research explores near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for on-field quality assessment in wheat breeding, including the development of photoacoustic mid-infrared methods to screen for deoxynivalenol contamination. Collaborations with researchers like Sulyok, Krska, and Freitag highlight his interdisciplinary approach to food safety and analytical chemistry.

Recent presentations at international symposia, such as the Photonfood, FoodSafeR and Digifoods Joint Symposium 2024 and the 45th Mycotoxin Workshop 2024, demonstrate his active contributions to mycotoxin research and spectroscopic innovation.
