Mathias Bonmarin studied at the graduate school of science and engineering “POLYTECH Marseille” part of Aix-Marseille University (France) and obtained his master’s degree in biomedical engineering in 2002. He then moved to Grenoble Institute of Technology to gain an additional master's in optics, optoelectronics, and microwave. After a year working as a scientific assistant at the Fresnel Institute in Marseille, he decided to broaden his perspective and studied economics at the University of Louvain-La-Neuve in Belgium where he graduated “summa cum laude.” Mathias moved to Switzerland in 2006 to do his Ph.D. in physical chemistry at the University of Zurich. He joined the School of Engineering of the Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW) as a research associate in 2010 before being appointed senior lecturer at the Institute of Computational Physics in 2014. Between July 2018 and July 2019, Mathias was a Fulbright visiting research scholar at the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences of the University of Cincinnati in the US.
Since July 2019 he is a Professor of optoelectronics and leads the Sensors and Measurement Systems group at ZHAW. His research interests focus on the development of innovative sensors and instruments for medicine and biology. Mathias is IEEE senior member (IMS and EMBS) and received the 2019 Best Application in I&M Award.
