Gallery of projects

In the description of projects we provide an overview of the "what, why, and how" and in particular a broader scientific context. The projects have been grouped by the specific challenge, methods used, or by the application area. Even though the funding for some of them has expired, we continue doing research and publishing. Our projects have multiple entry points, so please contact me if you are interested in collaboration. See GALLERY, and a list of the projects below (not the same order).
