Biography
Patric Eberle is a professor and head of the Sensor & Health Technologies research group at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences. He has been a lecturer since 2018 and has led the research group since 2020. He teaches in the Electrical Engineering and Medical Engineering degree programs.
His research focuses on highly sensitive sensor systems combined with AI-based analytics, including spectral imaging and mm-wave sensing, biosignal analysis for health outcome prediction, lab-on-a-chip biosensing and quantum sensing with NV centres in diamond.
He holds a BSc in Electrical Engineering from ZHAW, am MSc in Micro- and Nanosystems and a PhD in Thermo-/Nanofluidics, both from ETH Zurich. At ETH, he investigated precisely nanostructured surfaces to delay ice formation and nanovalves to trap and guide single particles and biological macromolecules in nanofluidic systems.
Before joining HSLU, he gained extensive industry experience, ranging from development engineer to project manager to head of research and development. He worked, among others, at Bruker AG (medical technology), SKF AG (electronics), and Balluff AG (sensor technology). His professional background spans a broad spectrum, from industrial automation to diagnostics and medical devices.
His work encompasses both basic and applied research with the aim to translate research results into impactful innovations. To this end, he collaborates with research institutions and industry partners to develop interdisciplinary solutions.
