Jan-Hagen Krohn

PhD Student

Jan obtained both his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biomedicine from the University of Würzburg in 2017 and 2020, respectively. During his studies, he was more interested in biophysical methods, especially optical microscopy and spectroscopy, than biology itself. He thus gained experience with techniques such as confocal fluorescence microscopy, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), time-resolved anisotropy, and scientific image processing. He joined the Schwille lab through IMPRS-LS in 2020, hoping to improve both confocal and total internal reflection-based FCS and related techniques with emphasis on analysis of association and aggregation. He also supports the lab with rather broad light microscopy know-how, and works a lot with DNA nanotechnology.
