Biography
Lilian Witthauer is an Assistant Professor with tenure track in Diabetes Technology at the University of Bern and Bern University Hospital, where she leads the samlab. She trained as a physicist at the University of Basel, earning a PhD in Experimental Physics, and completed a Master of Advanced Studies in Medical Physics at ETH Zürich. Before joining the University of Bern, she was a research fellow at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital (Wellman Center for Photomedicine), where she developed phosphorescence based oxygen sensing technologies for clinically relevant applications. Her research now focuses on optical and contactless sensing methods, sensor materials and system development, and data driven analysis to enable robust monitoring of physiological and metabolic processes, with a particular emphasis on diabetes and precision metabolic medicine. Her work is supported by competitive funding, including an SNSF funded programme in advanced sensing materials. She teaches in the Master Biomedical Engineering and Master Artifical Intelligence in Medicine and supervises students and researchers across Bachelor, Master, PhD, and postdoctoral levels.
